Manchester Day of Action with Hopes in Meals by UOMAAS and MBSAAS – 27 June 2020

Manchester Day of Action is the yearly volunteering programme in which the University’s global alumni communities actively do their part to contribute towards our social responsibility goals in the month of June.

On 27 June 2020, the University of Manchester Alumni Association of Singapore (UOMAAS) and the Manchester Business School Alumni Association of Singapore (MBSAAS) worked together to give back to the local Singapore community by working alongside Hopes in Meals in their inaugural joint event, gathering 25 enthusiastic volunteers for the event.

Together, our alumni and students made contactless deliveries of meals to the elderly around the Lavender estate during lunchtime and dinnertime, aiming to lighten the elderly people’s financial burdens, reduce their exposure to the external environment by protecting their health during these unprecedented times, and reinforcing the organisation’s presence to ensure a point of contact for elderly who may find themselves to be lonely.

We are thankful for our alumni and students’ continuous commitment to helping those in need.
