Blizard Institute raises £500 for Save the Children
Staff and students from the Blizard Institute got together for Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 8 December to organise a bake sale and donate to a great cause.
Between online, text, and cash donations they raised £500.49.
£336.39 was donated via JustGiving, £14 via text, and £150.10 in cash which included proceeds from the bake sale.
In 2019 the Blizard Institute raised £265.92, so the team set a modest target of £250 this year. They raised double that figure which is fantastic!
All donations to Christmas Jumper Day will be doubled by the UK government with 100% matched funding from the UK government going directly towards supporting projects in Kenya, which will increase the quality and availability of essential maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition services in Mandera and Turkana counties.
Well done to everyone at the Blizard Institute involved in organising and contributing to the day.
