Another success was our brand new Winterfest event, ran by our fabulous volunteers. Raising nearly £1400 for OJB, it was so lovely to see both students & the local community enjoying our activities. A big thank you to @AF_Blakemore for their donation towards our activity costs💜

Let’s look back at our highlights from last term, starting with OJB✨ Despite being in a time of crisis, I am amazed at how many people still decided they wanted to give back. Hard times really do pull people together #GivingBack

What a term it’s been for Action! 🪴Nearly 3000 hours volunteered 👙1046 bras collected for @againstbreast ❄️Held our first Winterfest & raised nearly £1.4K for OJB 🥫Received over 4000 items in our Christmas food drive 🧸Ran a very successful OJB campaign Bring on 2023💜🌟

A huge thank you to the School and Liaison Team from @lborouniversity who donated lots of presents to #OperationJingleBells this morning, instead of doing their usual Secret Santa. Their kindness will spread a lot of joy this Christmas💜🎁
