Students have helped raise more than £4,500 for charity through a series of fundraising events.

Second-year BA (Hons) Event Management students from the University of Winchester organised the events as part of their course, supporting charities including Emmaus, CoppaFeel, OpenSight, The Winchester Beacon, and Naomi House and Jack’s Place.

Marie Haverly, event management module leader and senior lecturer, said: "I was so impressed with all the event outcomes and delighted that our students were able to gain real life experience whilst running these live events.

"It was extremely rewarding to see them all confidently face challenges, manage expectations and ultimately enjoy plenty of success, in their final year on the programme."

Farah Abdullah, who helped organise a quiz night for Emmaus, said: "Through this, I learned how to adapt to challenges on the day, especially when plans needed to change quickly."
