The month of Ramadan begins after half term, and our tutorial programme will suggest to students how they might contribute to volunteering and charity work in the local area. As part of this we are promoting some fundraising for the Middle east Humanitarian Appeal through the auspices of the Disaster Emergency Committee.

Here is some further information:

The crisis in the Middle East is devastating lives. 

Millions of people across Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region are in urgent need of food, shelter and medical care.

As the winter sets in, those displaced will be exposed to freezing conditions, with children among the most affected.

ActionAid and other DEC member charities are responding right now in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank, providing lifesaving food, water, shelter, medicine and so much more.

More funds are urgently needed to meet the huge levels of need. Just £10 could provide blankets for two people to help keep them warm this winter.

Thank you for your support.
