Catherine Frieze, College Chaplain and member of the charities committee, said: “Whilst the day was filled with fun and laughter, the main purpose of the day was to raise money for two very worthy causes supporting the most vulnerable in society.

“The amount raised will help both Children in Need and Harrogate Homeless Project to continue the vital work they do nationally, and in the case of Harrogate Homeless Project, right on our very doorstep.”
