Story
Due to face-to-face teaching being suspended at Keele University, being the gaming society, we have decided to regularly livestream on our twitch channel to entertain people who are self isolating. Since then the country has gone on lock down and and in support of fighting COVID-19 we will do a 24 hour livestream from our own homes.
The charity we will be supporting is The Community Foundation for Staffordshire as this is the county in which our university is situated. This charity is supporting people in Staffordshire and surrounding counties who are affected by COVID-19 and isolation. Please read below to learn more about the charity.
The Community Foundation for Staffordshire has launched an appeal to raise funds in order to support communities across the county that have been affected by Covid - 19.Across Staffordshire, many people are being advised to isolate themselves from their families in order to limit the spread of Covid-19. This means that a large number of vulnerable people have now been isolated and do not have access to their support services that many cannot do without. Those organisations that support vulnerable members of our communities are finding it difficult to operate due to themselves being isolated and this has placed further strains on their work. This fund aims to support those organisations and ensures that we are helping those who have become isolated and lost access to vital services. Several of our fund holders and donors have already pledged their support. Please consider sharing and supporting this appeal in order to help us better support the people of Staffordshire.
