Very happy to have been mentioned by the lovely team BA Education at the University of Gloucestershire! We are so chuffed with our 'Gnome-ination!' and to have won the award for Services to Fundraising and Charities at the University of Gloucestershire Students' Union Gnomies last week. 🕊

Congratualtions to Ellie and the Refugee Society on winning a Gnomie at the recent student society awards.

Ellie says:

“We are so, so pleased to have won our Gnomie for Services to Fundraising and Charities!

It’s a huge credit to all of the hard work the Society have done this year to increase awareness of challenges faced by people seeking asylum and refugees, and the fundraising we’ve completed to support our friends at Cheltenham Welcomes Refugees and our University Sanctuary Scholarship.

We’re looking forward to more challenges and ways to get involved next year, and are always welcome to more members! If you’re interested, or have any questions, please drop us an email at [email protected] or reach out on social media “
