Back in March as part of their Event Management degree the Masters students had to host live events. The events varied from conferences, to food festivals to charity events.

One group of students hosted an event called “Carnival Blowout” aimed at students to raise money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research Trust.

As well as a Carnival Theme there were DJs from around the world to entertain the guests. The event was sponsored by Bournemouth University and Chang Beer.

The students worked incredibly hard throughout the event and in the lead up to it. They managed to raise £1769.99 for the charity, which was the highest raised out of any of the masters events this year.

The students are here pictured handing the cheque over to Sue Rae, from the East Dorset Branch with their lecturer Julie Whitfield.

Congratulations to the students on this incredible effort!
