The Presidentโ€™s Charity

Each year, the Societyโ€™s President chooses a charity to support during their term of office. Fundraising activities throughout the year help raise awareness and generate valuable funds for a cause selected by the President.

The Presidentโ€™s Charity changes each year, giving the Society an opportunity to support a range of organisations and causes within our community and beyond.
