Entrepreneurial students at the University of Wolverhampton raised approximately £20,000 for charity as part of a module to test their entrepreneurship and innovation skills.
The students’ final work was showcased at an Exhibition of Applied Creativity at The Holiday Inn, Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton on January 18, 2011, where they illustrated their successful fundraising activities to fellow students and staff and presented the money raised to representatives from the supported Charities.
The charities involved were Compton Hospice, Severn Hospice, Wolves Community Trust and the Steve Bull Foundation in Wolverhampton. 250 students took part.
Crombies employee and student Charles Grizzle and his group of five, managed to raise £750 for the Compton Hospice, helped by the support of the Crombies staff and other fundraising initiatives. A big pat on the back to everyone at Crombies who helped to raise funds.
