Wear It Purple Day !

On the 1st of September, Nadia Mizner hosted a bake sale & nail salon to raise funds for Switchboard VIC. Numerous students signed up to help volunteer and it was a massive success! Most of the baked goods were sold out with students wanting to contribute to helping and supporting LGBTQIA+ people. 

Switchboard VIC is a not-for-profit organisation that provides peer driven support for LGBTQIA+ people, their allies and families. Originally called Gay and Lesbian Switchboard, the organisation was established in 1991 as a volunteer telephone counselling and referral service. More than thirty years on, Switchboard remains volunteer driven and runs a range of services and projects.

After the success of this event, students are already discussing ideas for future fundraisers and awareness campaigns.
