Members of Carisbrooke College and Medina College’s Student Councils have handed over a cheque for £1,635.82 to the East Cowes-based charity, MAD-Aid.
MAD-Aid provides support to Ukrainian refugees who are currently in Moldova and support to Ukrainian hospitals.
In addition to the financial donation, students also collected and donated a large amount of toiletries and baby items.
The student council of each school is allowed to decide on which charities we support throughout the year through a termly mufti day. Both schools came together to support this 1 charity as they felt so passionately about helping those who are fleeing Ukraine.
One student has said:
“Student Council chose to support the Ukrainian refugees through MAD-Aid without hesitation as it’s clear to see the life changing work currently taking place for one of the world’s worst humanitarian events of our time. I hope our contribution supports Ukrainian refugees in need and makes a positive impact on their life.”
