*** COVID fundraising & Italian Society Committee Elections***

Dear All,

We are all going through tough times, and we are doing our best to contribute to addressing the crisis in Italy. If you haven't done so, please do contribute to the fundraising we organized with all the Italian Societies around the UK. https://gf.me/u/xqnap7

Also, we are convinced it is important to keep planning ahead. The elections for the 2020/2021 Italian Society Committee are now open.

Voting is open now until the 31 of March and you can vote for the positions of PRESIDENT, SECRETARY & TREASURER under https://www.lsesu.com/organisation/6816/

You can also find the candidates' manifestos and the instructions on how to vote under the link.

We would really appreciate you taking 1 min to vote!!

Dear all,
You really contributed enthusiastically to our call for help and we collected over 2500 € for the Protezione Civile in a week. We are getting closer to our goal, please help us to reach the target of 5000 € in this pandemic every sum can help to save lives. https://gf.me/u/xqnap7

Dear all,

The diffusion of the COVID-19 poses a great challenge to Italy, Europe and the world. We are all very concerned for our friends and families in Italy.

We have coordinated with many other Italian Societies all across the UK to start a fundraising campaign in favour of the Italian Civil Protection. We believe that in this challenging moment it is essential to show solidarity and help in any way possible, and we would like to reach £5,000. We encourage all of you to donate what you can, we are doing our part: https://gf.me/u/xqnap7

Although the UK has relatively fewer cases at the moment, we think that they will increase in the next weeks. As an extra precaution to avoid the spread of the virus, we have cancelled all of our upcoming socials.

We can all make a difference in reducing the spread of the virus by following the guidelines provided by the NHS: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

We also recommend anyone who is planning to fly from or to Italy to closely read the government guidelines; https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public -traveller

and to visit the Italian Embassy website for more information: https://amblondra.esteri.it/ambasciata_londra/it/

We are sure that together we will be able to overcome this challenge
