In Episode 1, UCEM’s PR and Social Media Manager, Andrew Belt, speaks to our Chartered Surveyor apprentice (Commercial Real Estate pathway), James Doyle, about the work he has undertaken in his role as a Sunderland City Councillor to create a volunteer support network for the most vulnerable people in his Fulwell ward during the coronavirus lockdown.

James also discusses his involvement in our recent NUS Responsible Futures audit, his thoughts on the apprenticeships thus far and how he manages to juggle studying, working and being a Councillor all at the same time!
