Wow £430.05 was raised for Children In Need last year by the Academic Centre!<br />
How did we do this....?<br />
On the 19 th November the Academic Staff organised a bake sale <strong>and</strong> raffle. This took place in the main dining area,<br />
<strong>and</strong> doors opened at 11am. Member of staff from the <strong>Postgraduate</strong> Centre <strong>and</strong> Library baked cakes <strong>and</strong> the<br />
response was amazing, we were overloaded by cakes <strong>and</strong> goodies from Cup Cakes to Victoria Sponge Cakes to<br />
Chocolate Chip Cookies. Even some <strong>Maidstone</strong> Hospital Doctors got creative in their kitchens!<br />
But we didn’t stop there....<br />
