Anna Henderson
Standing for:
Comms and Social Media Portfolio
Why are you standing for election to GC?
Having been deeply involved with my local branch of SCM (Southampton), and from there having had the opportunity to travel and participate in the work of SCM national, I have witnessed the scope and impact of SCM’s activism and campaigns. More importantly however, I have seen SCM’s presence in ordinary students’ lives creating an open, inquisitive and loving Christian community. I would like to contribute to running SCM in a way that continues its legacy of activism and wholehearted embracing of Christlike inclusion of all people, especially those marginalised in mainstream Christian spaces. I also want to continue the work being done to make the organisation sustainable for future generations of SCMers.

Samuel Simmonds
Standing for:
- Trustee
Why are you standing for election to GC?
Because SCM really holds a massive place in my heart. It has helped to develop my Christianity massively, becoming a more major part of my life than I have ever let it before. SCM has taught me love and acceptance for all, both from the heart but also how theology prove and strengthen this idea.
Sorrel Eyres
