Our chosen charities are the RNLI and Cornwall Mind. Here’s why we chose them:
Cornwall Mind
Mind, across the country, looks to support those with mental health difficulties. Lock-downs across the UK have only exacerbated this problem, with many students, locals and staff feeling the burden of staying at home. Mind Cornwall has provided an invaluable service during this time and with mental health increasingly influencing the well being and happiness of people, the Give 7 team think it’s only right to give back.
We chose Mind then, to give back to those who have supported our Colleges and friends, and in the hope that our donation may help others in a time of need
Rnli
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution aim to tackle the dangers of water and the sea. Through 24/7 search and rescue teams, educational water saftey courses and seasonal lifeguards, the RNLI operates to save lives every day. With 12 stations in Cornwall, and the Cornish community frequently enjoying the water, we believed it was our duty to give back to these members of the community.
