Cork City Walk to raise funds for UCC Student Services
08.03.2011
A novel initiative to raise funding for UCC’s Student Services will take place on Sunday, March 27th 2011 with a 5km walk through Cork City taking in 21 of the City’s bridges. The walk will commence at the Honan Square, UCC between 10.30am-11am and continue for approx 1 hour. In advance of the walk, a talk by Author Antoin O'Callaghan and UCC’s Dr Colin Rynne about the bridges, their history and architectural significance will take place from 1-2pm on Tuesday, March 22nd in West Wing 6, Quadrangle, UCC.

Monies raised will go directly to:

Peer Assisted Student Support (PASS) is a UCC programme that coordinates Niteline and uLink Peer Support, two services run by student volunteers that provide support to fellow students. Niteline is a UCC telephone listening service that provides a confidential, anonymous, non-judgemental and non-directive ear to students. uLink Peer Support is a new service in UCC where students trained as peer support leaders provide support to other students.

UCC Electronic Navigation System is an electronic navigation system for the blind and visually impaired using GPS and RFID technology and enables blind and vision impaired students traverse the campus safely and effectively.

The UCC Certificate in Contemporary Living is a course for young adults with intellectual disabilities which is designed for delivery in third level settings.

Walkers are invited to register at http://www.ucc.ie/alumni/21bridges where they will be asked to either make a donation or request a sponsorship card.
