MAS raises over £5k for charity Crisis

WinterFest choir at bga

£5,005.36!

Students and staff at MAS were particularly busy in the build-up to Christmas. Their second WinterFest event included a packed diary of exciting events and activities during December to raise as much money as possible for their nominated charity Crisis. The aim was to raise a minimum of £2,162 which will enable 100 homeless people to have a place at Crisis this Christmas.  However, the amount raised by the end of term on December 18th, was a whopping £5,005.36 which will help Crisis to provide food, shelter and support for at least 231 homeless people over the festive season and beyond. The WinterFest arts, sports and culture festival was particularly special this year with the Academy having recently been awarded the ArtsMark Gold award, in recognition of the exceptional arts and culture provision for students.
