Clear out your cupboards campaign
The ‘Clear out your cupboards event’ saw five boxes of toiletries and cosmetics were collected in October 2019, organised by Porcia Densley from the NQN team. The donations will be split between two charities. The first is ‘Give and Makeup’. Give and Makeup support ‘Refuse’ and ‘Women’s Aid’ in the London and Cardiff area. The second charity is ‘London Jesus Centre’, they helps refugees, asylum seekers and the homeless, all in the London area.
Red Nose Day
On Wednesday 13 March 2019 our students organised a non-uniform day along with other fundraising activities to raise money for Comic Relief, ahead of Red Nose Day. There were plenty of cakes baked by students and staff across both Oldfield Park and York Place sites.
For one day only, students were allowed to wear bright red lipstick!
Christmas box donation
In the run-up to Christmas, Norland student Lucy Rainsford coordinated Norland’s contribution of 26 boxes filled with presents for children and families who are struggling around Christmas time. The boxes were donated to the charity Link to Hope, which sent over 800,000 shoeboxes to Eastern Europe last year. This year, the charity hopes to help more families in need.
