I am currently on track to receive a 1:1 in my degree. In my final year, I was recently tasked with hosting an event with no budget during the pandemic. Myself and my team (3 others) ended up creating a virtual Charity event called 'Light Up your Lockdown'. The event was made up for a cocktail masterclass, origami workshop, bingo and a Charity raffle. The event was super successful and we manged to raise £1,257 for St Michael's Hospice (North Hampshire).
