Thursday! The day we've all been waiting for!

Starting off with YUSU Volunteering bracelet work shop in Yourspace from 2-4, come make something pretty and support a great cause.

Then our fantastic Women's Officers have prepared a sit down and chat about responses, actions and reactions from the crisis to discuss and inspire, NOTE it's in LMB/ 036 (oh, nice room! thanks room booking system!) and there will be juice, biscuits, AND mini muffins (including a vegan option!) 5- 6.30

Following that, at the United Rescues talk we will hear about people in York saving real refugee lives in the Mediterranean. Joanna, who is speaking to us, gets back from Calais today, so she's incredibly knowledgable and inspiring! 6.30 in LMB/030 (convenient room booking, thanks booking system!).
