Students Raise Cash for Pudsey

Hospitality and Catering students with one of their creations made for Children in Need

College students and staff raised hundreds of pounds for charity as the Children in Need frenzy hit Doncaster College.

Hospitality and Catering students have been working hard to raise cash. They spent over two weeks preparing tasty goodies and then had a mad dash around College selling their wares on the day.

Catering staff Charlie Ratcliffe and Lisa Pyott passed on their knowledge and expertise and helped students Joanne Fuller and Brandon Wilson produce a fantastic Pudsey Bear cake. This was raffled off along with Cinderella’s white chocolate shoes made by Charlene Singh, overall the raffle made £100.

A College spokesman said: "It's great to see students getting involved in fundraising events like this. They have put a lot of effort into their activities and it all pays off when they see the amount of money raised."

Other departments including Floristry, Hair and Beauty and Health and Social Care, contributed to the fundraising efforts. The pot is expected to rise as more money is expected to roll in from across the College's sites.

Doncaster College runs a host of catering courses from its Hub and High Melton sites.  Further details can be obtained by calling 0800 358 7575 or visiting www.don.ac.uk.
