Edinburgh University JSoc – Charity Fair for Mitzvah Day
Nominated for the Outstanding Youth Achievement Award.
This charity event brought the university’s faith societies and many local charities together in one room to celebrate the amazing work they do. All the students who came along were engaged with volunteering and other opportunities on offer, and also collected a significant quantity of food for local food banks. To top it all off, it was a wonderful interfaith event, bringing different Edinburgh students together in order to celebrate the shared values of charity, community and helping others.
