Students’ Union president Sara Lindsay and Welfare Secretary Rachel Green handed over a cheque for £1865 to Claire Brown from the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.

This year has seen tremendous generosity from staff and students, as the Students’ Union organised an extremely successful week of charity fundraising events in November raising over £1700.  In addition to the fundraising events noted in a Web News story before Christmas, special thanks must also go to David Livingstone (BEd Primary Year 3), who alongside friends raised £180 during ‘No Shave November’! 

Rachel writes:
“As a Students’ Union we hope to continue in our fundraising efforts and extend our contribution to the work of the Children’s Hospice in providing care for families throughout Northern Ireland. Up-coming events include the Marathon in May in which a number of teams from Stranmillis will take part, and we hope to organise some more charity events such as ‘Blind Date’.

“Many thanks for all those who have helped to raise this incredible amount of money.  The Children’s Hospice values our involvement.  It is wonderful to be part of a community that is willing to recognise and provide for need.  Let’s keep up the good work!”
