Redesign!
The site is undergoing some serious work with a new paint job and new content, so this will be up and running as soon as possible. You may experience some down time, but it should only last for a few minutes!

Crossing Borders
Aim: To work towards addressing the health inequality amongst the refugee and asylum seeker populations. Local groups exist around the country but there was a lack of national organisation so Crossing Borders was born, to coordinate local efforts.

Marrow
Aim: Marrow is an organisation which aims to recruit students onto the bone marrow register. There are lots of people who desperately reqiure bone marrow cells due to a variety of diseases. Unfortunately, their family members are not always a match and their only chance lies with those who have signed up to the marrow register.
