Newcastle DermSoc and Newcastle Academic Medicine Society have teamed up to highlight this fantastic local charity, the Mary Thompson Fund (MTF), and raise some money for them. Our committee member, Alice had volunteered with them for over a year and observed first-hand the great work they do.
The MTF was established in 2001 following the passing of Mary Thompson: a well-known Middlesbrough teacher, human rights defender and supporter of refugees. It became a registered charity in 2006. The aim of the fund is to provide practical help for people seeking and refused asylum and settled refugees and their families residing in the Tees Valley. Every penny raised goes to support our beneficiaries. The MTF organises drop-ins in Middlesbrough and Stockton – all run by committed volunteers, and with free accommodation provided by Middlesbrough Council and our sister refugee charity, Justice First. The drop-ins provide a variety of support including friendship and general advice and support, a hot meal, a free haircut, food and toiletries and a small cash payment. We really hope you consider donating to help such as great cause!
