Charities

Everyone has a different way of giving back to the society that we are part of. Here at Christ’s we will try and accommodate all personalities through a diverse collection of events. The predominant way to give is through the Charities Ballot that takes place at the beginning of Michaelmas term. All of college is given the opportunity to give a small amount of money to three different charities that have been pre-selected. These charities will hopefully represent a cross-section of life by helping people locally, nationally and internationally. There will be a chance to influence what charities are selected by suggesting a charity to this year’s Charity Officer, Matt Coneys (mhc30), and then voting for which charities should be supported from a shortlist.

Aside from the ballot, there will be a selection of events throughout the year to support individual charities, ranging from darts competitions and car washes to a battle of the bands and visits to local schools. There will be an opportunity for everyone to get involved. Please do suggest events or charities that you think should be supported in an event to Matt.

Outside of college, Cambridge RAG organises university-wide charity events. To find out more about their events and the latest appeals visit www.cambridgerag.org.uk for up-to-date information.
