We had 2 events this week! On Tuesday we had our SVP Talk and learned about volunteering and SVP's home visitations. On Wednesday we had our collab with the Environment Soc, DJ Soc and Visual Media Soc that went really well! It was a slow fashion catwalk fundraiser for Threshold- a charity committed to preventing homelessness.

We were delighted with how the events went and are really excited for more events in the future! We also have our weekly activity of Street Outreach again this week! See you guys soon :)

We went out to Dublin for our first street outreach of the semester! It went really well and we came home empty handed- which is always welcomed with doing street outreach! A group of us gave out tea/coffee, food and hygiene supplies to those experiencing homelessness in Dublin City Centre.

Hey everyone, 

On the 24th of October we held our annual Street Outreach and Working with Vulnerable Adults Training. The training is delivered by Niamh Brennan, our college co-ordinator with SVP. All our volunteers who took part in the training are now qualified to take part in our Street Outreach Volunteer programme, in which we travel to Dublin and offer tea, coffee, sandwiches, clothes and conversation to people sleeping out in the city. The Street Outreach programme has seen a big increase in numbers since last year, and we're excited to start offering more volunteering opportunities to our members this year.

Keep an eye on our page for upcoming events!

Social Day of Justice

Posted 21st Feb 2020
Author SVP Vice President

On #WorldSocialJusticeDay we are reminded of why we need to continue to work for social justice. It’s not right so many people are locked into poverty. It is possible to build a more just and caring society-

We must continue to challenge injustice and advocate for social change so that the common good is prioritised and the needs of people who are struggling due to poverty and social exclusion can be met

Join our fundraisers and SVP workshops (such as sustainable fashion and poverty) to gain a great understanding into social justice issues in our society and how you can help those in need!
