Queens' Charity Committee

This is not a drill!
🍩🍩🍩We are back in business and better than ever 🍩🍩🍩
21/2/22 from 11-1pm on Erasmus Lawn, Queens' College
Come join QCC and help us raise funds (and spirits) with some well-deserved week 5 donuts

Got a buddy having a hard week 8? A college spouse that you need to appease because you've been stuck in the library doing essays for the past six weeks and forgot to text them? Just really like sugar? well, you've come to the right place!
Let us know how many candy canes you would like and where you want them to go... then wait for the festive magic to happen

Thank you so much for your orders so far! We have some really exciting news….

We are THRILLED to announce that having hit orders of over 300 Christmas cards, we are releasing a new design, ‘King’s in the Snow’ (see photo!)

We have had a lovely lovely anonymous donor who has offered to match future orders of Christmas cards* so get ordering and your order will go even further to help our charities!

As before, the pricing remains the same - however, you can now mix and match designs! (e.g. 10 for £10 could include 5 of Queens’ and 5 of King’s!)

If this is your FIRST ORDER, or you’d like to make another, go ahead! If you would like to edit an existing order, message our page.

ORDERS WILL CLOSE on the 18th November and will be with you by BRIDGEMAS DAY (yes, we are Santa**)

Thank you so much for your support and happy nearly Bridgemas!

Whether we're locked down in college, at home in the UK or abroad, we're all missing normal Queens' life right now! So to remind us of the good times the Charity Committee is running a Cambridge-themed creative competition - we want to see your creativity in whatever form it comes, whether that's painting, photography, poetry, songwriting, baking, or anything else! The only requirement is that it fits our theme of 'Cambridge life' - show us your painting of Cloister Court, your poem about May Week, or your musical tribute to Wednesday Cindies (gone but not forgotten)

The artwork will be posted to Facebook and Instagram so that Queens' students can vote for their favourites! There is a £10 Fitzbillies voucher for the winner!

Follow this link to submit your artwork. Submission comes with a £2 entrance fee - donations are going to Cambridge City Foodbank, who need our help more than ever in lockdown
We can't wait to see your creations!
