So you’ve heard of #BlackFriday or you’re gearing up for #CyberMonday, but do you know about #GivingTuesday?
After two days of spending, Giving Tuesday, Tuesday 28 November, is an international day dedicated to giving back to society. But what can you give? Donating money is often the first thing that comes to mind, but you can also give your time (volunteering), share your skills or donate items. In 2021 more than 2.1 million donations were made on the PayPal platform to over 160,000 non-profits and causes around the globe, with PayPal processing a record-breaking $188 million
The LSE Volunteer Centre and LSESU RAG are bringing #GivingTuesday2023 to you and the rest of the LSE community. It’s a day for the LSE community to come together to donate their time and money and use their voices to help causes they’re passionate about. As we’re living in the middle of a cost of living crisis this is a great way to think about how we can give back to those most vulnerable in society.
