We would love it if you could help the girls to raise as much money as possible.
During lockdown calls to their helplines have increased considerably, meaning they are in need of funds now more than ever so please consider donating to the just giving link (we have put it in our bio)

Season's greetings to everyone!

Hope everyone is able to get some rest over the holidays, and get ready for 2021. As the year ends, so does our time as your Derwent RAG and Volunteering Reps. We just wanted to say how much we have enjoyed this role, and what a great learning experience it has been, as well as a brilliant opportunity to meet so many top-quality people. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us - those both on and off the committee - throughout our year as charity reps, and best of luck to the incoming reps, Lissy and Harriet.

We also want to give a special thank you to , and for helping us out at events and supporting us throughout our time as your RAG Reps. We have loved every minute of it and it wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for you guys, so thank you so much!

Finally, a personal thank you to York Mind for being so brilliant, encouraging, and helpful. We're very proud to call you our chosen charity.

Lots of Derwent love,
Ella and GG

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe this lockdown season! Even in lockdown, you can still support charities, and buy your Christmas presents at the same time!

For those of you trying to get ahead of the curve, many charities have online shops, some with special Christmas pages, so go ahead and take a peak, even if just to buy your Xmas cards and decorations!

If you don't see anything you like, remember that holidays like this are an important time of year for small, independent businesses too - try support local!

Here's some inspo for anyone struggling ###
