This term it is Diversity’s turn to raise some much needed funds for our chosen charity – Essex Air Ambulance. A huge thank you must go to all the staff and students that gave up so much time and energy to help out. There was so much going on each day that we haven’t yet got around to counting all the money. At the time of writing, we haven’t yet had our non-uniform day which will take place on Friday 27 March. The signs are looking good for breaking the £1000 mark
which would be a fabulous achievement!

There were various sporting battles between staff, as well as a girls versus boys netball match with the boys showing some skill and winning the match (I think they must have had some quiet practice time!) Each day there were cakes on sale as well as fairground activities. Cinema experiences were enjoyed with the big screen and comfy chairs. I still think the highlight of the week was the cookie auction where cookies were auctioned off to the highest bidder. A surprise addition was an impressive likeness of my face (baked by Emma Gooden) and sold to staff for £50!

So once again thank you so much for your support and to those staff and students that helped out; we couldn’t have done it without you!
