Students for Global Health:
Students for Global Health is a student network and registered charity which tackles global and local health inequalities through education, advocacy and community action.
Do you want to explore the bigger picture of why people get sick in the first place, the inequalities in health between regions and countries and what possible approaches can be taken to reduce global health burdens?
Who are we?
We are a friendly student network of more than 30 university branches, we aim to raise awareness about the causes and context of global health inequalities locally, regionally and nationally.
At UEA, we are a committee of nine students passionate about global health, welcoming students from all schools at UEA with an interest in global/ public health and development!
What do we do?
We raise awareness around key Global Health issues through short courses, conferences, campaigns, policy writing, protesting, film screenings (and more!) to provide you with in-depth knowledge of a variety of topics.
This year, we are running short courses on: Racism in the NHS, Women’s health and Reproductive Rights, Addiction, Fast Fashion and Worker's Rights and more!
We also run fundraising events, such as the Lost Hours Walk we took part in last year, we walked 125km to raise awareness about male suicide and funds for the charity CALM.
In addition to this, we volunteer throughout the year with local groups, this year, we are joining the Anon Street Team to help provide meals to the homeless in Norwich.
Membership means you’ll be able to attend our events throughout the year and join us in our fundraising and volunteering. Members also receive certificates for attending events - which look great on your CV!
If you join our society, you’ll be welcomed into a network of open-minded, supportive students and given the opportunity to learn about and discuss a wide variety of topics which are pivotal to health. We look forward to meeting you all soon!
