We know that many of you have been busy advocating for your charities in the run up to Christmas – we hope you have had fun and also managed to raise awareness of the issues your charity is trying to alleviate and the great work that they are doing to help people affected.

As a little Christmas bonus, we are happy to confirm that, thanks to a generous donation from the Elizabeth Clucas Charitable Trust and a few smaller individual contributions, we now have our prize fund secured. This means you are competing not only for the honour of winning the Charity Challenge title and trophy but also to win cash prizes for your charities. More details on this at the seminar in the New Year!

We are grateful to the trustees of the Elizabeth Clucas Charitable Trust for recognising the value of the Charity Challenge programme and supporting our student teams in this way.

In the meantime, we hope all our students and charity partners have a lovely Christmas break and look forward to catching up with everyone again in January.
