Sarah, Activities Development Co-ordinator

Hi, I’m Sarah, the Activities Development Co-ordinator at NUSU and I co-ordinate the Give It A Go programme! I manage a fantastic team of Activity Assistants and Volunteers (you can see the rest of the team below) and together we organise the fun activities for the Give It A Go programme! We are always keen to hear your ideas and please let us know what you would like to see on the programme! You can contact me at adc.union@newcastle.ac.uk or please pop in to see me in the NUSU Activities Office!

Amelia, Activities Assistant

Hi, I’m Amelia! I’m in my third year studying Politics and Sociology and an Activity Assistant with Give it a Go, helping deliver the events. I’ve loved Give it a Go since my first year because there are so many amazing activities to get involved with - there really is something for everyone with Give it a Go! I’d definitely recommend it to anyone so make sure to check out our activities, and if you see me about on campus feel free to stop me and ask me about any upcoming events! 

Louise, Activities Assistant

Hi, I'm Louise! I'm a second-year Biomedical Sciences student and started working for Give It a Go this September. For the last year, I have been part of the Dance Society, where I have met some of the loveliest people, and it's because of those people that I went on the Disneyland GIAG trip and discovered all of the wacky and wonderful events that take place!

Since starting University last September, as a quiet and shy Fresher, I've become a chatty and [sometimes overly] confident second year, who wants to help more people go and experience things they never thought they would!

If you ever want a chat or have questions about anything, you'll always find me either in the Walton Library or the Sports Centre- student life! I hope to see you soon :)

Sam, Activities Assistant

Hi! I'm Sam, I'm in my final year of studying an English Language and I work for both Give It A Go and NUSU's commercial team.  This will be my first year as an activities assistant but I have participated in so many great activities through the programme! I've kayaked through caves in Cullercoats, traversed a scary maze on Halloween and let out my inner child at an adult soft play!
As a native to the area, I fit all the stereotypes of being fun and friendly, so I'll make sure you have the best of time on an activity! I can't wait to take part in what's on offer for next year and meeting so many new people!
