Supporting good causes, charity fundraising, raising awareness and helping others has been high on the agenda for a number of our groups this past month.
Our student groups have baked cakes, sold raffle tickets and hosted a range of events to benefit their charities of choice, this month's student group recognition pays homage to the selfless work that our volunteers have dedicated to helping others.
Student Group of the Month November 2024 is awarded to the Islamic Society - who managed to raise £539.53 for Islamic Relief
Bakes sales, cake decorating, sports events and charity collections were some of the activities that the team hosted throughout a week of dedicated volunteering, to raise funds for their chosen charity.
Raising a grand total of £539.53 was an amazing feat which was also recognised at the Islamic Relief Midlands Awards where the society was nominated for an award for going above and beyond in Charity Week.
Congraulations Islamic Society!
