Student Fundraising
Onesie Day
Total donation £1298.00!
Physiotherapy students in the School of Health and Rehabilitation held a ‘onesie’ day and raised £130 for the charity Therapies Unite, in memory of their fellow student Catrin Pickles. They have also raised money through an auction at their winter ball. The total raised on the night was a massive £1168!!! This added to the Onesie day total means that they have £1298.00 to donate to Therapies Unite.
Therapies Unite works with disabled children and adults with musculoskeletal and neurological problems to improve their mobility and provide them with access to healthcare that they would otherwise be unable to afford. Catrin was one of the first volunteers to work with the charity in Mexico and was keen to develop links between the charity and Keele. Therapies Unite has now been adopted as the students’ chosen charity for 2012. The School is working to establish placement and volunteering opportunities with the charity for current students, staff and graduates. The first visit to Mexico by SHAR staff is planned for January 2013.
