Hi Everyone!

As a society, we voted for Mind Brighton and Hove to be our chosen charity for this semester. Mental health is such an important issue, in particular during these difficult times. We hope that by raising money we will help support our chosen charity to continue their services throughout the pandemic. 

Mind aims to provide a range of information and advice to support anyone experiencing a mental health problem to allow them to live a full life (https://www.mindcharity.co.uk/).

On the 4th December we will be hosting a radio marathon in collaboration with Buzz Radio from 3:45-8:45pm (https://www.facebook.com/BuzzRadioBSU). Where as a committee we will be discussing and debating topics for 5 hours! We're really excited and hope that you all tune in.
