Joel Stephen, a member of MedSoc, is spearheading an effort to help raise funds to support the Doctors’ Hardship Fund which is aimed at helping doctors who are struggling through the pandemic.
This is a fantastic effort for anyone who is interested to support. MedicMentor, the organising body writes:
‘Volunteering as a campaigner is a fantastic way to support doctors safely from home! We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who can raise awareness through a variety of ways, such as emailing teachers, friends and family or via existing social media channels that you already have access to.’

Not only is this a great effort to be involved in, but it can also be counted toward CAS for IB students and wider experience for aspiring medics and vets.
Remember, with any volunteering you decide to undertake you need to ensure that all social distancing and safety rules will be adhered to and the organising charity will accept people under 18 years of age.
