Students raise money for suicide prevention
29 OCTOBER 2013
Students living on campus at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga will present $6 500 to the Wagga Wagga and Region Suicide Prevention Network following the students’ fund-raising efforts in 2013. Manager of the University’s Residence Life Mr Peter Bell said, “The money was raised during events organised by Residential Advisors (RA). The students living on campus would donate a gold coin to attend the activities. Given the financial pressures on university students, the donation is a generous one to a very worthy local charity.” On Thursday 31 October at 10.30am, the RAs and Wagga Wagga Head of Campus, Ms Miriam Dayhew will present a cheque valued at $6 500 to Wagga Wagga and Region Suicide Prevention Network member Mr Daniel Hayes. “This generous donation will help us to continue promoting what people can do to help themselves and each other in times of need,” said Mr Hayes. “We will also be able to further train community members in being able to help others and look a new way to provide local solutions.” Read more about the Wagga Wagga and Region Suicide Prevention Network and where to get help here.
