Durham University Paediatrics Society
What did you ask Santa for this Christmas?
1 in 3 children in Teesside live in poverty and won’t get a present this Christmas.
Durham Paediatrics Society are asking you to buy one extra present this year- a gift to give to disadvantaged children to make their Christmas morning.
We need gifts for children aged 0-18 years, or if you’d prefer to give cash instead that'd be great too!
How to get involved:
- Come and find any of the committee on campus and donate your presents or money.
- Support our Mission Christmas Charity events, we'll advertise them on facebook and around campus as they approach.
