Library Christmas Craft FairUniversity Library staff organised a Christmas craft fair, where they showcased their talents to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Operational Support Services sent out an email to library staff informing them of the event and asking them if they would like to have a stall at the fair, 10% of the proceeds to be donated to the charity. 

Tickets for the event were sold at £3 and this included a drink, nibbles and entry into the entrance raffle (tower of treats). The first prize in the main raffle was a cake (Christmas Stollen) which was donated by one of our own medical students, James Morton who was runner up in the recent Great British Bake Off television programme.

Stalls included:

  • Hand crafted cards
  • Paintings
  • Baking
  • Jewellery & floral arrangements
  • Name the teddy
  • Guess the number of sweets
  • Raffle

The event was well attended and a total of £1742.31 was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support.  The cheque was presented to Elaine Hamilton, Regional Fundraising Manager on Tuesday 18th December by the Operational Support Services team who organised the event.
