Projects
- Collection 26 Wedding'sDuring my time at Collection 26 I was involved in the running and creative design of a number of luxury and high end weddings. These could be themed or set around a specific venue or location choose by the client. All were high-budget and high-end occasions that had to have a luxury feel for the client and all there guests.
- Oxjam Cheltenham TakeoverPart of the Oxjam Cheltenham Takeover 2013 core team. I was responsible for obtaining sponsorship for the event, as well as coordinating all fundraising activities. The takeover received no funding so as the Fundraising Coordinator it was my role to secure sponsorship, and fundraising events so that we had sufficient funds to run and promote the event. The Takeover itself, took place in October, and raised £2,000 for Oxfam, through live music concerts in venues across Cheltenham. Leading up to the Takeover, there are many fund-raising events to take place, all to raise vital funds for the Takeover and Oxfam.
- Stop the Heart BreakAlong with a group of six other university students, we planned and ran a two day family fun day for the CRY charity. It was the first year of running the Stop The Heart Break initiative within the university, which has now been carried on year on year in different formats. Our family fun day considered of numerous different activities happening across the universities campus. Prior to the event we were involved in a number of fundraising initiatives so that we could provide the event and 200 screening places free to the community. The event was a great success and we raised £2500 for the CRY charily, while also enriching the communities knowledge of cardiac risk and providing a fun and entertaining day.
