Donate With Love event a success
In memory of former Finance Office employee Joyce Friend, Dorothy House held a clothes exchange on campus on February 16th, in which members of staff donated clothes and bought those donated by their colleagues. The event aimed to raise money and awareness for the hospice.
During the first two hours of the event, staff were invited to exchange good quality clothes with other staff members; for the rest of the event, the remaining items were put on sale. Those not sold were donated to Dorothy House. The novel approach was the result of the event’s organisers’ desire to change the way people donate to charity.
The event was a pilot scheme solely for staff, though as its organisers considered it fairly successful, another Donate With Love event may take place in the future, incorporating students as well as staff, though there are no concrete plans yet.
