The centrepiece \u2013 a beautifully decorated Easter Bunny cake \u2013 was created by Cath Pilsbury, Inclusion and Diversity Manager at the college, based on inspiration and ideas gathered by the students. The raffle raised \u00a3220 on the day, adding to the \u00a3180 they had already raised at Christmas through a student-run coffee shop and sales of handmade crochet gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath has a proud tradition of raising thousands of pounds annually for causes that make a real difference in the local community, and Mid Cheshire Mind is the college\u2019s chosen RAG (Raising and Giving) charity for this academic year.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Harrison, Community Fundraising Lead at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midcheshiremind.org.uk\/\">Mid Cheshire Mind<\/a> visited the campus to thank the students and draw the winning ticket.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThis is a fantastic effort by everyone involved and we really appreciate this donation. The \u00a3400 raised by the students through these activities will help us keep our phone lines open for 80 more days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese lines are a lifeline for people struggling with their mental health, and without support like this, we simply wouldn\u2019t be able to continue offering this service. What makes it even more special is that all the money raised stays right here in Cheshire, supporting our local community in places like Nantwich, Winsford and Crewe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louise Badjie, Programme Leader for Foundation Learning, praised the students\u2019 achievement: \u201cOur students worked incredibly hard to plan, promote and run this event as part of their Enterprise module. They showed real creativity and teamwork throughout, and their enthusiasm for supporting a good cause was clear to see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all very proud of the total they\u2019ve raised \u2013 and even more so now we know what that money will achieve in terms of real, meaningful impact for people who need support.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foundation students at Reaseheath College and University Centre have raised over \u00a3400 for Mid Cheshire Mind \u2013 a contribution which will help the local mental health charity keep its vital phone support lines open.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":141620,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[866,468],"tags":[921,919,922,72,923,920],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
