Students for Global Health Leicester (SfGH) is a registered charity run by students at a national and local level. We have 30 branches nationally and aim to tackle health inequality across the globe via campaigning, education and advocacy. Ultimately we want to inspire individuals of various backgrounds and disciplines to have a better insight into what global health entails.
We hold many events throughout the year with our most popular being the Global Health Short Course. We will be running this in January-March 2022 over eight weeks. We will also be holding online campaigns on a range of important and relevant global health topics. We will be continuing our fundraising for Toilet Twinning with the aim of raising £1500 and achieving Toilet Twinning Status for the university!
