SUPPORTNG STUDENT CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
Your donations enable Students新月直播� Union clubs and societies to provide the best possible student experience for RVC students and support a healthy work-life balance by offering a chance for them to participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities.

The RVCBC will be aiming to purchase a new woman新月直播檚 8+ in order to replace the woman新月直播檚 second 8s boat, Laura Antlett, which has been working very hard for the club for over a decade!
