Hillingdon Foodbank does vital work in providing short term and emergency food to people living in the borough and experience crisis or difficult times. Each term, we support the foodbank by donating large quantities of non-perishable food items to help those in need.
You’ll see your RA team out in halls collecting donations at the end of each term so make sure to have a look through your cupboards and donate what you can to support the cause.
Committed to our local charity work, Brunel Residences work closely with the British Heart Foundation to raise donations every year. We host a number of drop-off locations where you can donate any unwanted items to help raise money for vital research into heart and circulatory diseases. Contact your RA team for more information on what is and isn’t accepted, where to donate, and how.
The RA team work hard to make sure that we are continually contributing to both Brunel and the local community. Charity work is a large part of how we give back so we arrange fundraising events for Brunel students to get involved.
