<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">This year, ICSM RAG, our "Raising and Giving" society, will be supporting the <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Teenage Cancer Trust</strong>. TCT tries to make it easier for teenagers with cancer by building specialist Cancer Centres in NHS hospitals that cater specifically for young adults. They also provide extra care and support for the patients and their families in order to increase their chance of survival. </span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">RAG at ICSM will be helping specifically with the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">London UCLH Cancer Centre</span>. The ward is currently under construction, and there are plans for it to be decked out with everything teens might need – from media centres, a café, quiet areas, and education zones. The ward has been designed to try to minimise disruptions cancer will cause in these young people’s lives. </span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">RAG is hosting events throughout the year where students will have a chance to encourage members of the public to donate money, via collects on the tubes and obstacle courses through London, as well as some more outrageous fundraising debacles! </span></span></span></p>

Don't be shy if you want to donate more though!</span></span></span></p>
