Hi Guys
Not doing anything on that lazy Wednesday afternoon? Then come along to this!
It will only take up an hour of your life and it really will make a difference! Imagine if the whole university turned up one day wearing the same colour. Imagine if, just by wearing that one colour, every single student was making a difference.
This is reality…
WEAR WHITE THIS WEDNESDAY
Live 8 is over, the G8 long forgotten, white wrist bands are no longer cool… but poverty still lives on. This Wednesday (17th October) we as a university are going to stand up and speak out against poverty and inequality.
1pm outside the Student Union
Help us break the world record by turning up to this globally supported event. At 1pm come and show your support for the Millennium Development Goals outside the Union (there will also be a speech by Dr. David Golding). Then join us in walking down to the Quayside where we will form a white band across the Millennium Bridge in our effort to Make Poverty History. We know that you care. This is your chance to show it.
