<br>
Our boatman has raised the idea of donating money raised through fines during bumps this week to support Ukrainian refugees, we were thinking through the British Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.<br>
<br>
We raised this in the captains chat and have had support from 15 other clubs, listed below:<br>
<br>
Emma<br>
Peterhouse<br>
Homerton<br>
Newnham<br>
LMBC<br>
Caius<br>
Clare<br>
Christ’s <br>
Magdalen<br>
Sidney<br>
Catz<br>
Wolfson<br>
Clare hall<br>
Downing<br>
Darwin<br>
<br>
Please let us know if this is something you would consider, we think it would be a good way to make an actual impact after showing support through Ukrainian colours etc all week. <br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Maisie Matthews, on behalf of FCBC Captains</blockquote></div>
