Glasgow ARM

BAKE SALE: Tomorrow from 10am to 2pm we will be holding a bake sale to raise funds for Rwandan health care students. If you want to support the cause, or just fancy a tasty snack during exam revision we will be outside the main library.

There are lots of ways you can get involved with Glasgow ARM, and we don't just need MVLS students. Look out for our trustees election in May, or consider volunteering with our student group Students for Rwandan Medics.

Happy to say we're still getting donations to the Main Library. We've taken the box away now, but we accept laptops throughout the year at the Wolfson Medical School Building.

Trustees Fergus and Pat recently visited the bank and transferred new donations to the Student Endowment Fund, which supports students with accommodation, living costs and academic resources. You can find out more about the SEF and why it's so important, here..

Thanks for a fantastic 2 weeks! Because of your kind donations we've managed to collect enough laptops to cover the next few academic trips to Rwanda. From everyone at the Student Endowment Fund, cheers!

The boxes at the McIntyre and Main University Library have now been collected, and we're happy to say we've recieved enough laptops for the IT staff to work on for a good while. Thank you everyone. As for the Wolfson Medical School Building - Glasgow ARM is a medical school charity, run by staff and students. If you'd still like to donate, we can accept laptops, or donations towards the Student Endowment Fund throughout the year. There are a number of ways to get involved, which you can read about, here.. https://www.glasgow-arm.co.uk/about-us/our-work/

The boxes are ready at the University Main Library, SRC's McIntyre Building and Wolfson Medical School. If you've got an old laptop you'd like to pass on to another student, they'll be available for the next 2 weeks.

If you don't, but you'd still like to support the next generation of Rwandan healthcare workers, we always welcome donations towards the Student Endowment fund here ..

Our appeal has reached the University Newsletter again! If you're replacing your laptop over Christmas, we might be able to pass it on to someone else who could use it.

University of Glasgow - MyGlasgow - Campus e-News - Help a Rwandan student: donate your laptop Have you replaced your laptop in the past five years? Do you have a University laptop in a drawer that you no longer use? Glasgow ARM can give old laptops a new life and a happy home!

We were asked to feature our Laptop Appeal at the MVLS College Christmas Council. See if you can spot our new posters.

A selection of textbooks donated by new graduates and other students at the University of Glasgow Medical School. We've recently recieved news that they've now arrived safe and sound at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences Library. From one student to another..

Well we’ve had a very exciting Summer, with trustees for the charity winning awards in both the SRC’s Volunteers, Clubs and Societies Awards, as well as the Herald Higher Education Awards.

In the next month, our new committee of trustees will meet for the first time, to set exciting plans for the coming year.

Look out for our stall with Students for Rwandan Medics at the Wolfson Medical Building, today until 11!

Many congratulations to Ruairí, Irene, Susannah, and Lily who all ran for Glasgow ARM at last month’s Edinburgh Marathon.

In total they managed to raise nearly £600 - an incredible achievement. The donation page for their event has now closed, however anyone who would like to do so can still donate using the button above.

The money they’ve raised together will have a lasting impact for students at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences in Rwanda, and so we’d like to extend a big thank you to all of their supporters.

Ruairi told us, “we were really happy to be able to support this great charity” and would “highly recommend fundraising for ARM in the future as the charity continues to grow”.

We hope you all had a fantastic time in the sun, and thank you again to everyone that came out to support them.

Best of luck to Ruairí, Susannah, Rose and Lily - who are all running in Edinburgh this weekend! Hope the sun is shining for you!

University of Glasgow - MyGlasgow - Campus e-News - Laptops for Rwanda Thanks to generous donations by staff and students, we have already sent out 34 laptops. Students with disabilities and with no family support have especially benefitted. This has had a profound effect on their access to learning materials and engagement with their course.
