Charity Action Group and Eco Committee join forces!

The Charity Action Group and Eco Committee joined forces on Sports Day to create the Snack Shack.

The menu featured delicious Fruit Smoothies (tropical and apple & berries), Lemon Ice Tea and a wonderful selection of home-made cakes (a special mention must go to Noah’s fabulous flapjacks), all for the bargain price of either 50p or £1.

The Charity Action Group showed great entrepreneurial skills and worked hard in setting up their pop-up stall to create and sell the items . Members of the Eco Committee helped ensure the event was as environmentally friendly as possible by collecting and recycling the rubbish.

It was a fabulous day and the team worked hard to keep the athletes fuelled and refreshed throughout the day. The profits were in aid of the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease. Rob was a professional Rugby player before being diagnosed with MND. Despite facing his own challenges, he was devoted to raising awareness and funds to help people living with MND and their loved ones, until the end. Rob’s dream was to have a specialist centre for people living with MND and their families giving people living with MND the best possible care and support. 

Thanks to the hard work of the team, they were able to raise an impressive £366.07!

A big thank you to everyone who supported the Snack Shack, to all who donated items, all the “customers” and the students and staff (notably the LSAs) who worked together across the day to ensure the Shack was a success!
