Students from the University of Exeter Medical Society have raised an incredible £676 in support of Exminster’s Westbank Community Health and Care's Community Larders and recently presented the large cheque to the charity’s head of fundraising.

They raised the funds through a charity raffle held during the Society’s Winter Ball for first and second year medical students. The event brought students together for an evening of celebration, while also supporting a cause that makes a real difference to people in the local community.

The raffle was supported by a number of companies in Exeter who generously donated prizes, helping to make the fundraiser such a success.

Medical students from the University of Exeter regularly attend placements at Westbank’s Healthy Living Centre part of their Community Recruitment Programme.
