Morag Rennie (Charities Representative)

Each year, the St. Anne's MCR raises and donates money to two charities voted on by the MCR community. The charities selected for 2009 are KEEN and WaterAid. The MCR also regularly supports Cancer Research UK. For more information on the MCR's charity work, please contact our charities representative, Morag Rennie, by emailing charities [at] st-annes-mcr.org.uk).

KEEN

KEEN is a registered charity and a joint organisation of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University students. KEEN provides recreational activities for young people with special needs. For more information on becoming a volunteer, please visit KEEN's website.

WaterAid

WaterAid is an international charity that works to give the world's poorest people access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education. These basic human rights underpin health, education, as well as livelihoods, and form the first, essential step in overcoming poverty.

WaterAid works with community partners who understand local issues, and provide them with the skills and support to help communities set up and manage practical and sustainable projects that meet their real needs. They also campaign locally and internationally to change policy and practice and to ensure that the vital role of water and sanitation in reducing poverty is recognised.

Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK

St. Anne's actively supports Cancer Research UK in leading the fight against cancer. In 2008, events were held to raise funds and awareness for this organisation, including a BBQ lunch in college and participation in the Race for Life by some members of the MCR. The same events were held in the Trinity term of 2009 and raised over £1,300 for Cancer Research UK. Following the success of these two years, the MCR hopes to make these events annual.
