COLLEGE students have used their new-found skills to raise money for a cancer charity.
Matthew Gallagher, 20, and Roy Hewlett, 19, both catering students at Darlington College of Technology, raised £150 for Marie Curie Cancer Care when they organised an Italian theme night in the college restaurant. Carol Oliver, fundraising manager for the charity, said: "We are delighted with the lads. They organised the posters, flyers...the whole thing. It was a complete success."
The evening, which was part of the charity's Make a Meal campaign, counts towards the students' final NVQ grades in December.
The Make a Meal campaign, fronted by television chef Kevin Woodford, has raised more than £4,000 in less than two months.
