FROME College students have helped to raise nearly £200 for Ukrainian refugees.
The college reports, “We would like to give a big thank you to all the karaoke singers, footballers and spectators who participated in and contributed towards fundraisers on 9th March, in aid of Ukrainian refugees.
“Musical talent shone through during the karaoke, with entrants and audience members donating £1 each. Songs such as ‘At Last!’, ‘All You Need Is Love’, and ‘I Want to Break Free’ were performed by student soloists, a staff group, and a hilarious combination of both!
“Over on the astro-turf, several 7-a-side football teams energetically took part in the ‘Support Through Sport’ fundraiser, each player also donating £1.
“A total of over £190 was raised and has been added to Frome Town Council’s JustGiving campaign, which will support the Ukrainian refugees who are staying in Frome’s twin town of Rabka, Poland.
“Toiletries and supplies that were generously donated by the College community have gone to RAISE (Refugee Action in Somerset East), who will deliver everything to Ukraine later in March. Thank you to everyone who supported these charity endeavours.”
