Here at Worcester, we are devastated to hear about the lives lost during the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. 17 million people have been affected by the earthquakes and many are in urgent need of shelter, food, and medical attention. In response to the Disaster Emergency Committee’s (DEC) appeal, we aim to support those in need in any way we can.
DEC Appeal Worcester Support
Here at Worcester, we are devastated to hear about the lives lost during the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. 17 million people have been affected by the earthquakes and many are in urgent need of shelter, food, and medical attention. In response to the Disaster Emergency Committee’s (DEC) appeal, we aim to support those in need in any way we can.
We have cash donation boxes and QR Codes which link to the DEC Just Giving Page at each reception on campus. In return for your donation, we are providing ribbons to wear in support. These will also be available on Welcome Desk and at the Hangar Bar.
On Tuesday 21st February and Thursday 23rd February, we hosted Coffee + Cake in the Hangar and a City Campus. We invited both students and staff to join us for a bake-sale to help raise funds for the DEC appeal. Staff from the University counselling service were also on and to speak to students affected by the earthquakes and ongoing humanitarian crisis.
We have, to date, raised a total of £410 for those affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
If you would like to donate to the cause, you can do so via our Just Giving page at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/uowdec
