Medical Society Raise Funds for the RMBF

Published Tuesday 24 September 2024

A group of Upper Sixth form pupils from the Medical Society (MedSoc) raised funds over the summer for The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund (RMBF).

The RMBF provide support for doctors and their families through all stages of their career and beyond. Their help ranges from financial assistance in grants and loans to a telephone befriending scheme for those who may be isolated and need support.

Grace T and Keira T, Upper Sixth commented: "As a Medical Society within the school, we felt that bringing awareness to a charity that had such a substantial impact in the medical world was worth representing and volunteering for. So as a team, we chose to hold a sale at a local church summer fundraiser where we sold homemade bracelets, candle holders and cupcakes as well as cooked up some homemade meals. It was a great success with our bracelets and meals being the most popular."

Overall, the CVMS MedSoc raised over £250 which has gone towards supporting doctors and medical students with grants as well as their supporting platform DocHealth who provide confidential, specialist-led support for doctors experiencing mental health issues. Congratulations to all our pupils who were involved.
