"As their lecturer, I'm very proud of the amazing determination shown by our students. Their creativity, teamwork and willingness to take risks reflect the mindset that defines successful founders and business leaders. This is a core first-year module, which means students begin building these capabilities from the very start. By the time they graduate, they will have the practical experience, confidence and commercial awareness that employers look for."
"Raising just over £2,500 taught us how powerful teamwork and community engagement can be when combined with a meaningful cause. We hope our efforts make a meaningful contribution to The Children's Foundation."
First-year Business and Management students at the University of Sunderland converted a £25 seed fund into £12,743.30 with Gift Aid for The Children's Foundation. Twenty-four teams took part in the four-week Take £25 Challenge, deploying bake sales, raffles, food stalls, lucky dips and carnival-style games. The total represents the highest sum raised since the challenge began and concluded with a celebration at the Reg Vardy Centre on St Peter's Campus. The module is led by lecturer Iraa Wimpenny and emphasizes creativity, teamwork, risk-taking and commercial awareness from the first year. The winning team, North East Giving, raised more than £2,500. The Children's Foundation supports vulnerable and marginalised young people across the North East, funding mental-health programmes.
