8. Save The Children – Christmas Jumper Campaign. We supported the nationwide STC Christmas jumper campaign last year. We had lots of groups of 4 students work from Asda stores across Coventry to help raise money for Save The Children, bringing in a total of over £1000 collectively. Save The Children – Event support and fundraising activities with STC are regular and we are heavily involved across the West Midlands. We find that students thoroughly enjoy supporting charities and always seem to get lots of interest towards getting involved.
