The Midwifery society is doing amazing as usual! Their fundraising activities are the best examples for a society to enhance their funds. They have collected money for the society by selling some donated books, doing a raffle with a self-care hamper, creating "football cards" that were changed to relate to midwifer, and selling home-baked MidSoc cookies 🎉

The society is glad to be raising money through the examples above as "it's small personal donations so not too much for any one person" but they add up quickly.

Check some of the benefits of such society engagement activities below: 

• "It feels like I have an extended family who truly know what I am going through and can share thoughts and ideas on our course"

• "Felt welcome before I became a part of the society and even the course"

• "The events to help with placement etc have been very helpful, I felt more prepared than I would have had the society not been running"

• "It's great doing things as a group as whoever has capacity on the day can take the lead, I don't like asking people for money at all but then at the festival in Edinburgh when we had the raffle etc it was totally ok as people were coming to us"

The society particularly enjoyed announcing the winners, because so often people told them that they never win anything and "it's nice to spread a bit of joy around and give back while also receiving" ✨
