Students get into Christmas spirit with festive fundraiser

Tuesday 23 December 2008

A group of Redcar & Cleveland College students have spread some Christmas cheer this week by raising money for a charity that helps children with developmental difficulties.

 

Nicola Smith and Rachel Cush, both aged 16, are studying hairdressing at the college. They were inspired to raise cash for the Brainwave charity when they read about the work that it does with children who suffer from a range of disorders ranging from Cerebral Palsy to Autism.
 
They enlisted the support of students across the college to collect cash from their fellow students and staff, raising a grand total of over £100.
 
Nichola, who along with Rachel, got dressed up in festive outfits for the day said:
 
“It’s important to remember that there are people out there less fortunate than ourselves and we wanted to do something to put a smile on their faces this Christmas."
