Mansfield college students joined forces to help raise money for BBC's Children in Need

Level-three business studies learners took a lead on the activities, as part of their learning company called The Eventors. They joined forces with students from other curriculum areas for a day of fundraising and fun.

Level-one hairdressing and beauty therapy students were on-hand to create Pudsey inspired nail art and glitter tattoos, while level-two make-up artistry students brought out the glamour in people with make-up, hair-curling and more temporary tattoos.

A variety of cakes, doughnuts, muffins and biscuits were on sale, along with prize raffles which included ‘guess the name of the bear’, a ‘guess where Pudsey is in college’ photo challenge, and a beauty products raffle.

Meanwhile, level-three animal care students offered tours of the animal care unit, so people could meet the creatures they help care for, in return for a donation.

Kim Carlin, college business studies programme area leader, said: “There were so many activities creating a buzz and it was great to have hairdressing and beauty therapy students supporting us. The cake sale was incredibly popular.

“The Eventors have done a marvellous job with setting up and managing this event and they were well supported by students on the level-two course, who have been able to build their eventing skills.

"Our goal is to raise £150 and we’re confident that we will have achieved this and maybe some more.”
