Plymouth College of Art Students’ Union (PCA:SU) has won Best Campaign Supporting Student Well-being at the 2021 Think Student Awards, beating leading international universities to be selected as the winner by the Student Pulse panel of 40,000 students.
Harriet Moore, who represents students at our PCA Charitable Trust board meetings ran a Student Union Food Bank from her flat during the first national lockdown in 2020. Harriet hand-packed and coordinated delivery of parcels of food, period products and toiletries to students self-isolating or experiencing financial hardship. Harriet and her small team also tackled period poverty by providing free period products in toilets across all campuses.
The Charitable Trust was delighted to be able to donate and support Harriet in her fantastic work supporting students at a time when they needed it the most.
