Aims
Fortnightly bulletins – make outreach more accessible – but we’re allowed a facebook page now, so less relevant as long as reg posts. Poster profiles – been on page. Raising profile of outreach – earlier we can do something that’d be great so people know who we are. At least one fundraiser a term – rescue services charity – plus establish new volunteering project which has already been done with CM (President). The roles were made last year, and not built upon much:
– Ki: contact in charge of events – research charities to make sure they’re legit and ethical – keep an eye out for national or international campaigns
– Ky: we’ll all be admins on FB – we’ll want cheesy posts – sharing stuff on it e.g. call for volunteers – advertise events – responsibility over outreach noticeboard in bailey JCR
– E?: quiet at the mo – FRAMDA set up – give that this term before looking into other projects – keep lowkey eye out for ideas – gap in SCA projects etc – look into legitimacy of an idea, maybe liaise with college etc
– SCA and DUCK Reps – liaisons – but we’re also getting a liaison officer – were also going to have junior DUCK Reps but we’ve scrapped them now – lots of colleges don’t have them anyway.
Catch Up
FRAMDA set up – starting on Thursday – got 13 volunteers – probs enough, but may need more recruitment
CM says she’s donated the old stash
Normally a charity formal – 29th Nov – who do we want it for – Marrow – would like to source some speakers.
Signed up outreach for an outlet for a national charity fundraising awareness thing –SolidariTee – raise money for refugees to have legal representation – selling t-shirts for them – also a photo campaign, that’ll be put on our advertising things and theirs – meant to have 90 of them and spread between 3 outlets – 60 arrived – gave to the two other outlets – ours still haven’t got to us – day when we’re meant to be wearing them is coming soon so we may need to do it v quickly once we get them.
Also spoke to CL (Librarian) about doing a book sale – logistically possible – would probably have to put money to recycling the ones we don’t sell or a charity that looks into it – but it might take a while with taking them off the system so that’s in the future.
Event
Need ideas for an event now so people know we’re here – probably Christmas theme now that Halloween is over – selling candy canes outside formal has been done, but maybe not cos who has extra money at formal and weird time for buying one.
Have a go day? We need lots of publicity – people who we’d normally go to e.g. charities, and they come here and cuths people come and socialise with them and create a relationship, and people more likely to help out. Hard logistically though
– Maybe more of a summer event as can use the gardens etc.
Spoke to EA (Principal)– basic literacy skills for parents to help with kids – but not sure we’re insured to have children in Cuth’s – so like the idea of it but may be difficult.
Spoke to piers about collab with acoustic – can’t make it charge as it’s fundamentally a free thing, but poss have buckets
Bar crawl? Maybe a drinks special or something – where difference in price between the price and the actual cost goes to the charity – if people join on a fb event – can put people in teams, people pay a few pounds to join the team and the money goes to the charity and people have fun
– Sounds like good fun – but not sure how much promoting drinking like that – the pay to be part of a team sounds like a fun idea – maybe think of more a daytime activity – in freshers week we had a scavenger hunt – but didn’t have many people
The pub quiz went really well so maybe could do one of those – maybe £5 for a team
Like the idea of people competing for what charity the money goes to – thinking of locations – could be difficult – the dining hall, college can be against it for logistical reasons – maybe a DSU venue – maybe also brooks bar, being realistic with how many people would come – can speak to PE (Alt-Soc) about the mic they use.
Anything Christmassy themed? Not sure about the candy canes things – text a toastie doesn’t apply so much.
People generally like the idea of a raffle – have a budget to get some prizes – and can ask around local shops
A charity match? Maybe more a summer thing still – and do something fun, like rugby boys doing netball and stuff – people doing sports they don’t normally do – and if do it in winter, can have coffee and hot chocolate stall
Welfare do SHAG week – do something at brunch – could do something at brunch, everyone’s always there – an awareness thing
Could have documentaries playing on the tv in the JCR that people would see when they go past.
To do:
– Look up when bar has empty nights for a quiz night
– Think of logistics for a raffle – Ky– see who’d actually want to do something
– Speak to RJ (S&S) about sports match thing
– Ask around to see if people would come to karaoke, sports match etc
– Speak to LN (Chillax Pres) about Chillax
– Everyone look up good documentaries for a brunch thing – one that relates to a charity rather than – Ky: white helmets – a doc on Netflix about Syrian refugee crisis and about the actual charity White Helmets
Main ideas:
Pub quiz
Chillax collab
Sports match thing
