PJs for Pudsey – Children in Need fundraising event

Our Children In Need fundraising day has raised an impressive £155!

Students donned pyjamas, completed a dance exercise session and brought in home baking for a bake sale – organised by the Students Union and also supported by staff – on Wednesday 13 November.

Other events on the day included face painting in reception and a gym bike challenge inspired by the Charity on Wheels efforts of Paddy McGuiness on his bicycle ride from Wales to Scotland. Staff, taking 15 minute turns, ended up travelling 52 miles over five hours using an exercise bike that had been set up in reception.

Students, meanwhile, enjoyed a staff-led Zumba session at lunchtime which also brought the money in.

Student Life lead Beth Martin said: “Children in Need at the college was a great, full day event which really highlighted how much our students care for their own and the wider community.

“It was a joy to support the Students Union to achieve such a great event, and I am so proud of the amount that was raised.”
