Okay, hearS a revised and fact-checked version of the text, aiming for accuracy and clarity. I’ve focused on verifying the organization and its activities, and providing context where needed.
SolidariTee: University of London Charity Work and Event Organization
This recounts experiences volunteering with SolidariTee, a student-led charity affiliated with the University of London, and participating in event organization and refugee support initiatives.
The author details involvement with the SolidariTee teams at UCL (University College London), KCL (king’s College London), SOAS (School of Oriental and African studies, University of London), RHUL (royal Holloway, university of London), and LSE (london School of Economics). The core of the experience revolved around organizing a club event. This involved logistical challenges such as securing DJs (“we need five!”), a photographer, and managing ticket allocations for each university branch to ensure profitability.
Despite the initial hurdles, the event was successfully held, attracting a large turnout. The author expresses gratitude for the support received from friends and fellow volunteers.
Beyond event organization, the author also participated in lectures focused on refugee support, fostering connections with students from different departments and universities. A key takeaway was the satisfaction of directly contributing to aid efforts. This was notably meaningful, as the author had previously conducted interviews with immigrant children and those with overseas roots during a prior job, but hadn’t been able to directly engage in support activities.
SolidariTee has branches at various UK universities. Students at institutions other than LSE interested in joining are encouraged to contact the current SolidariTee team. More information can be found on their website: https://www.solidaritee.org.uk/join-us.
The author is currently undertaking training at LSE graduate school and highlights participation in charity work as a recommended extracurricular activity.
