Hi everyone, welcome to the new Charities section! This year, Beth, Marta, Laurence and Matt are the Charities team. We hope to keep you informed about the various charity events taking place in Magdalen, but also about Oxford-wide events.
There are some exciting events planned for Hilary term, including Valentine's Day Roses (and possibly live song dedications!!!) and Pancake Day, which promise to be great!
Check the website for more updates to come and information on how you can get involved in charitable activities.
Sign up for this Trinity Term's RAG Bungee Jump, in association with the Oxford Stunt Factory. Along with students from Reading, Brookes, LSE and UAL, you could bungee jump in Oxford with the safest company in the UK. It's on Sunday 4th May (start of 3rd week) and costs only £100, most of which will go to charity due to the great rate RAG has secured!
