FUND-RAISING students held a Christmas hamper raffle to support FareShare North Wales.

The pupils from Bangor University have raised £3, 000 for four non-profit projects/charities since their term started in September. From leg waxing to nights of student fundraising, the generous team at Bangor Rag will be generating funds throughout the academic year.

FareShare North Wales was established last year, in a bid to combat food poverty. The project was launched by Crest Co-operative and has since helped to feed hundreds of homeless and vulnerable people across Conwy and Denbighshire.

Surplus, quality food is donated by food suppliers and distributed to community groups, supporting disadvantaged people. The project has created work placements for the unemployed, adults with learning disabilities and volunteers.
