    Before heading out we raised £700 and collected clothes, stationary and sanitaries to give to the schools. To fund-raise we wrote to local trusts and did bake sales, fun runs and sold crafts.

    This programme aims to provide support for engineering undergraduates in UK universities who have the potential to become leaders in engineering and who are able to act as role models for future engineers.
