Cooking session with

In October 2023, for our first event of the academic year, we joined the charitable organisation 'feast with us', to cook for those in need.

Human Trafficking Conference
We hosted a conference welcoming guest speakers Dr James Sinclair, Phil Brewer, Prof Parosha Chandran and Ishaan Shah to provide us insightful thoughts on the field of human trafficking. It was a great opportunity to hear their hand-on contributions and stories on the field, understand deeply about the legal and political issues exacerbating human trafficking and of course interact with the professionals!

Sports Fundraiser Day
In this fundraiser event, we engaged in fun sports activities as well as a clothes sale. We managed to raise more than 200 pounds through participation, clothes and food sales! As we partnered with UCL Unicef, the money we raised went exclusively to Unicef!

75 km fundraising walk
In February 2023, KBFC’s President and Treasurer, Kan and Miles, walked 75km along the Thames river to raise funds for those affected by the devastating earthquakes in both Turkey and Syria, by donating charitable donations to NGOs, such as Oxfam.
07
Oxfam - "All things activism" training day
One very influential message that we took away from the experience was when someone said 'Everyone can be an activist in its own way' and since then, we have focused on devising unique ways to make us 'activists' in our own way. We are hoping we can share what we learned throughout such a journey last year and exchange meaningful thoughts and conversation with peers so we can drive important change together.
06
C-Potential rehabilitation
centre visit
KBFC payed a visit to the CPotential Rehabilitation Centre, where it participated in two rehabilitation sessions with CPotential, an organisation that pays a focus to the potential for children and young people living with movement disorders.

Shelter UK - Bucket Fundraising
In October of 2022, for our month focused on Poverty, we partnered with Shelter UK to fundraise for them at Charing Cross Station. Members of King's Broadcast for Change stood outside and within Charing Cross Station to collect donations for the charity. It was truly an insightful experience!
04
Oxfam - Trip to Manchester
In October, Oxfam invited us to a training day in Manchester, funded by the organisation itself. KBFC was able to connect with Oxfam societies from many other universities in the United Kingdom such as Warwick University, University of Edinburgh, Manchester, and more! We were also all able to learn about how to be better campaigners and how to increase our volunteering and growth!
03
Shelter & Oxfam
In October of 2022, for our month focused on Poverty, we held talks from Oxfam and Shelter dedicated to learning more about the rise of homelessness within and outside of the United Kingdom, and what we as individuals and a community could do to help stop this

KBFC Induction
During the first week of October, we held an induction with newcomers to KBFC, organising events to education students on what KBFC stands for, our topic of the month (Poverty in October 2022), and getting to know each other!

Welcome Fair
We first introduced ourselves to everyone at KCL through the Welcome Fair this September 2022! At the fair, we were able to pass around 200 flyers out, advertise the society, and get more people involved!
