EMERGENCY APPEAL
The NHS has built the Nightingale hospital in the London Excel centre in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and need
non-clinical volunteers to help. This is a paid role that requires the volunteer to stay in one of the hotels on-site
(covered by NHS) and self-isolate when returning home. This is a really important and fulfilling role that directly
supports front-line clinical staff and aids the success of this project in treating this pandemic.

to!

Wow what an amazing night.
The last LMSS event within 2m of each other this
year! We were so lucky to be able to have the
event with everything considered, and thanks to
the hard work of our officers!
We started off with a lovely drinks reception and
lots of photos (if you haven’t seen them check
them out on the event or the LMSS 3rd years
page), accompanied with a smooth jazz band.
Then came the food, we expected Adelphi-level
food, but we got Maray-level food- what a change
to have vegetarian food that isn’t risotto!
Next we had the highly anticipated awards! There
were a few surprises, but it was great to see everyone
shout-out to Ed Routh who received
a nomination for every category (including Miss Shagability) .

As you can imagine, the rest of the night was

leaving behind the dinner shoes and putting
on the dancing shoes (thanks to our shoe
deposit box) to head to Rev’s St Peter’s
square. We had a few surprise shotgirls
and dancers join us! All in all, although it
turned out to be our last gathering of the

may not be a traditional foreign language like French or Spanish it is equally as useful! If you come across a deaf or
hearing impaired individual you will greatly benefit them as you'll be able to freely converse with them.
The British Sign Foundation have a online course which is available to students for £3! This course is greatly reduced
from £25 and they rely solely on donations to keep this course as cheap and accessible to everyone so if you can
afford to pay more that is an option.
