As we are now in our 3rd year of nursing training, our graduation is quickly approaching.

We have created a committee to organise our Graduation Ball for all 260 nursing students, but sadly we have to fund the event solely through our own fundraising approaches.

I'm sure you can all appreciate how much planning needs to go in to an event catering for 500 people and how difficult this is for us to do whilst trying to complete our university coursework and keep up with our placement hours that we are required to carry out in order to register as a nurse.

Currently we are trying to secure a venue for our event, but a £3000 deposit is required. We have fundraising events ongoing but since we are having to start from no money at all, we obviously still have a lot of work to do.

We would really appreciate any donations that anyone could give as we still have a long way to go, however we are determined to make sure that our Graduation Ball is one that all our fellow nursing students deserve! We have all worked extremely hard over the last 3 years and would like to provide a proper celebration in honour of this.
