Capital City College (CCC) students from the college’s Holloway centre hosted a charity stall to raise funds for the NSPCC, the UK’s leading children’s charity.

A group of 35 students from Creative Media Production – Level 1 Diploma and IT Users – Level 1 Diploma courses demonstrated their numeracy, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit by organising a fundraising event in support of the NSPCC. Over the course of three days between 16 and 18 December 2024, the students set up and ran a stall featuring a variety of handmade products including beautifully designed cards and calendars, eco-friendly bags, plants, bookmarks and candles. The items were hand-crafted by the students themselves, reflecting their wide-ranging creative skills and ingenuity.

In addition to handmade products, visitors to the stall could also take part in a raffle with the opportunity to win either a luxurious self-care basket or an indulgent afternoon tea basket. The raffle prizes were won by tutors from the Holloway centre, Merdos Bazargan and Neville Blake.

The fundraising stall raised £306 for the NSPCC and provided an excellent opportunity for students to develop key skills such as teamwork, customer service, and event management. During the event, the students demonstrated dedication, enthusiasm and increased confidence, all of which contributed to the stall’s success.

Leandro Sanchez, who is studying for the Creative Media Production – Level 1 Diploma, said: “Wow, that was fun! I really enjoyed selling to people and seeing them appreciate the products on the stall like the bookmarks. I would like to do this again.”

Victoria Kilanko, Work Placement Coordinator, said: “The students’ efforts and the generosity of the staff and students who supported the stall have made a meaningful contribution to the NSPCC’s important work in supporting children and young people. Well done to all involved!”
