The 10th November is our Charities Formal when we are also bringing the spirit of Diwali to Grey College! Diwali is a time of celebration and for thinking of people less fortunate than ourselves. It is fitting that we are combining this with our Charities event to support two Durham charities: St Cuthbert’s Hospice and the County Durham & Sunderland Foodbank.
Grey College, JCR, MCR and SCR would like all attendees to bring one item on the night to donate to the County Durham and Sunderland Foodbank (these can be toiletries, cleaning materials, tinned or ambient (shelf-stable) food and pet food. No fresh or chilled food please. Link: County Durham and Sunderland Foodbank | Facebook
At the end of the formal we will hold a raffle in the bar with some great prizes, with all proceeds going to St Cuthbert’s Hospice in Durham. Link: St Cuthbert's Hospice - Making Every Day Count Since 1988
