International Disaster Concern Society

International Disaster Concern Society An inclusive society for students interested in disasters & emergencies and for raising awareness and funds for disaster causes.

The IDC welcomes members from all courses. Although we mainly attract GED department students, our interests are so diverse there is bound to something here for you! As our name suggests we are all about disasters of any kind which means that we cover a very broad range of topics in our activities from personal development to poverty issues to personal emergency preparedness. This year we are orga

nising a variety of fundraisers, social events, guest speakers and international trips as well as providing opportunities for our members to use their skills in a constructive environment. We are member driven so that means if there is something you want to do, we will help you make that a reality. We accept members all year round so even if you just want a platform for a fundraiser or want to attend an event or two, we could be right for you! Membership is £10 per year which goes towards insurance and general running costs as well as funding guest speakers and workshops. So get in touch, we can't wait to hear from you!!!
