WSU Dignity Drive

The Woolwich Students’ Union thanks the College community, students, staff and parents, for the many generous donations to the 2023 International Women’s Day Dignity Drive.

Following the success of the first 2022 Dignity Drive, a team of student volunteers helped the WSU Co-Captains, Charlotte O’Brien and Clare Thomas, staff the WSU donation stand on the Futuna Terrace for the second WSU Dignity Drive. For 3 days, Wednesday to Friday, the stand was run before school and at recess. This was a change from the first one day Dignity Drive held and it allowed more students the opportunity to make a donation. On one of the mornings, the team enjoyed a hot chocolate drink brought in by one of the team, and the next day, Mr Keller brought in some zataar bread and Middle Eastern sweets to give the team some energy as they manned the stand. Donors received a small gift of a WSU Mentos as a thank you for their donation.

The WSU thanks Dr Ireland, Mrs Alvarez, Ms Vu and Ms Morizzi for their support with the organisation and promotion of the Dignity Drive. 

The donated goods will be distributed to women in less fortunate circumstances by the Mary’s House Community Refuge, the St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol, and the Exodus Foundation Night Van.
