How to Get Involved:

There are lots of different ways in which you can get involved in what QCOEF does, from contributing to the fund to becoming a committee member and taking on some of the responsibility of managing your own college charity.

We are currently recruiting a publicity officer:

Publicity

Organising publicity, as the name suggests, involves publicising events for QCOEF when they happen, raising general awareness about QCOEF’s work around the two colleges, and reminding people to add a donation to their college bill. It is really rewarding, and it’s ideal for creative people who like making posters or flyers and thinking of the best ways to persuade people to come to events and donate. Time commitment varies, with the time before events and at the beginning of term being busiest, but it is never very time consuming and is well worth it.

Making a Donation

Making a donation is very simple but different for Queens’ and Clare Students. Queens’ students can sign up to donate termly during Freshers’ week and you don’t need to be a Fresher to do so. Clare Students can add 5, 10 or 20 pounds to their termly bill by adding the donation to the cheque – ask at the Bursar’s office when making the payment.
QCOEF only asks for small donations from students but this adds up to a lot very quickly. £10 on top of a termly bill is a very small proportion. When you are paying to study at one of the best universities in the World, please spare a thought for those who are much less fortunate.

Seeing what’s going on

Each term the QCOEF committee will send out information about the projects which have asked for money and invite the students of Queens’ and Clare to attend the allocation meeting. All students are always welcome at meetings and we will try to keep you updated with times and places. Keep an eye on this website, the Facebook group and your email account.

Joining the Committee

No amount of involvement and help will ever be discouraged and Queens’ and Clare students can join the committee at any time in the year. There are some specific roles, like Secretary and Chair, for which elections are held in Lent term each year.
