College of West Anglia students in Wisbech join Children in Need fundraising

Staff and students at the College of West Anglia have successfully raised over £400 for BBC Children in Need after completing their fundraisers to support the 2019 Appeal.

The money raised will go on to help transform the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

Hair and Beauty students from the college’s Wisbech campus offered a morning of 30-minute treatments to raise money, which included mini pedicures and manicures, as well as facials and shampoo and blow-dries at The Salon at CWA.

Other activities included animal care and dog grooming staff and students dressed up to raise money for Children in Need. Outfits included, a giant Pikachu, a flamingo and super-Mario. They raised a total of £205.61 for charity, as well as a volleyball tournament held at the college’s Sports Campus.

A college spokesman said: "We’re overwhelmed with the response we had to doing our pamper day as a fundraiser and would like to say a huge thank you to all those who took part. It was great fun supporting BBC Children in Need and to know that we’ve raised money for a great cause is a fantastic feeling. ”
