Friends Of Msf Uclan

We are Friends of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), here at UCLan. Join us for updates on events and latest news.

Welcome to the Friends of MSF society at the University of Central Lancashire! ⛑

Q: What is FoMSF UCLan?
Having just established in December 2016, we recently became part of the world-wide student group called "Friends of MSF" that supports Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). As MSF is an independent & self-funding organisation, most of its funds come from private donations. Therefore, efforts by the "Friends of MSF" really do make a difference and help improve the lives of people around the world.

FoMSF UCLan welcomes anyone (students /staffs) who has an interest in MSF's work, irregardless of any medical background. Our society will host several events throughout the academic year. Entry for all events are open to both members and non-members! We look forward to having you on board!
