NAME OF EVENT Christmas Carolling
PLEASE TELL US THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE EVENT Our aim was to raise awareness for the deaf community and to raise money for The National Children's Deaf Society. Our goal was £50, however, we managed to raise £172. We did this by beginning with a sign language carolling event within the main foyer of the Checkland Building at Falmer Campus. This was followed by a bake sale and general party. At the smae time we also went door to door to carol in BSL and raise money.
