SWOT

Students Working Overseas Trust is a local charity, established in the 1980's,

which is run by fourth year medical students at Queen's University Belfast.

It aims to promote the improvement of hospitals and health centres in the

Third World and other under-developed countries by:

 

  • Delivering much needed medical supplies.

  • Sending financial aid.

  • Advancing education. 

 

How does SWOT raise money?
In a typical year SWOT raises in excess of £40 000. The money is raised in a

variety of ways:

 

  • The annual Fashion Show, supported by many local businesses.

  • Blood Pressure Clinics

  • Street Collections held in various towns throughout Northern Ireland.

  • Student Social Events, such as nights out, table quizzes, raffles, etc.

  • Sponsorship from local companies. 

For more information on these visit the "fundraising" page on this site.

 

Where does SWOT money go?
All of the money raised by SWOT is used to provide medical equipment and f

inancial support to various impoverished hospitals in the third world.  Typically,

SWOT members will bring the donated money with them to these hospitals

during their six week medical or dental electives.
