Departments across campus \u2013 including the library, Floristry and Animal Science \u2013 contributed with their own unique fundraising initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath students also helped raise money at Reaseheath Family Festival, selling slushies and painting faces, and played a big part in Lambing and Mini Zoo Weekends, helping manage visitor parking and taking souvenir lamb photos for the public. Donations are continuing to roll in from the Reaseheath\u2019s gold award-winning stand at the Royal Cheshire County Show.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the year, Reaseheath Students\u2019 Union President Summer Lakin said: \u201cRAG has been a huge part of this year for me. We\u2019ve spent the year raising money for Mid Cheshire Mind, and I\u2019m so proud of everything our students and staff have achieved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our massive 12 Days of Reaseheath campaign and Mental Elf Fun Run to skydives, campus challenges and even face painting at Reaseheath Family Festival \u2013 we\u2019ve had so much fun while raising money for a brilliant cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing elected Student President was a real privilege, and I\u2019ve grown so much in confidence \u2013 especially in leadership and public speaking. It\u2019s been a challenging, rewarding, and unforgettable year, and I\u2019m so grateful to everyone who supported us along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Summer also highlighted the success of other standout events such as the Bavarian and Halloween Balls, Winter Ball, and the Campus Chase, which saw teams race around campus completing activities on the main lawn with inflatables and a BBQ.<\/p>\n<p>Mid Cheshire Mind provides mental health support, advocacy, and awareness across the region and was chosen as the Reaseheath Students\u2019 Union Charity of the Year for 2024\u201325. The funds raised will help the charity continue its essential work supporting individuals experiencing mental health difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Harrison, Fundraising Lead for Mid Cheshire Mind, said: \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly grateful to the students and staff of Reaseheath College for choosing Mid Cheshire Mind as their RAG charity this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t even begin to explain how much good this will do for our community \u2014 how many people you\u2019ve directly helped in Cheshire to access the vital mental health services they need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo raise more than \u00a318,000 in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis is honestly incredible. You should all be extremely proud of what you\u2019ve achieved. Every penny will stay in Cheshire, supporting local residents who rely on these services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u2019s next RAG charity will be selected by students for the academic year 2025\/26.
