Welfare Watch Volunteers are here to help you during most Rubix Nights out (the Student's Union Nightclub), to sober up in a safe environment and help you to get home safely.  Welfare Watch volunteers are based in the Front Room, just below Rubix, wearing the pink Hi-Vis. If you are not let in, kicked out, or just need a breather, go say hi to our student volunteers!

If you want to share your ideas or feedback you can contact your VP Support on ussu.vpsupport@surrey.ac.uk . If you do not want to be part of the organisation process of the Let's Talk, that's absolutely fine as well, just email her your idea and she will look into it.
