Halloween Bake Sale -

On 31st October, a Halloween Cake Sale took over the Psychology Tower Building. In true bake off style psychology trainees and members of staff baked home made cakes/ cupcakes, all in the theme of Halloween. Reg (Programme leader) judged the cakes and Emma Harris (Year 2 trainee) was crown the winner! However, there is a lot of talent about and the competition was very tough.  All the cakes sold out and we raised an incredible total of £250. The proceedings went to Llamau, a homeless charity for young people and families. Llamau help families get back on their feet. It was lovely to see all the students and staff connect and raise money for this very important local charity.
