Aldrich Gonsalves

Jack Stokes

"Aldrich joined the Students' Union whilst studying an ESOL course in 2016. To complete his course, an element of Work Experience was needed, so he approached the SU for a volunteering position. For some time he helped the SU promote trips and activities, whilst attending them himself."
