Had two really useful meetings today!

Saw someone from the marketting department in the Union. He helped me understand all the ways the Union can launch a campaign, from using the plasma screens in the Kitchen to massive banners. He went through the time frame for organising something like that, and how much it can cost. I think I'm going to get through Sshh and AIDS day without their support and then before I go home for Christmas try and organise some campaigns around bullying and mental health for January and then organise something around Love Without Borders for the Go Global week! And slip in more serious things less publically and smaller matters as they arise.

Spoke to the Student Counselling Service today, she went through the training that they've had for LGBT issues and also what provisions they have. Their little rooms are lovely, with blue soft chairs and candles and stuff. They also have loads of information about practical stuff like housing and finances. We talked for about an hour and she introduced me to a lot of staff and I have to say that they really do understand LGBT issues and they want to help. I went in intending to ask if they could expand their 'male' and 'female' boxes on the forms for self-referral but they already have! Just SIMs to email now.

Working on my motion atm, posting that later.
