Students donate bras

The Students' Union recently held a 'Bras on Bars' event to raise awareness of breast cancer. The Union bars were adorned with bras donated by students, which were dyed pink as part of a special pink-themed Friday Night Disco (FND).

The evening included treats of candyfloss, promotions on special pink drinks and pink glowsticks which were given to every third person - signifying that one in three people is touched by cancer in some way during their life.

Students and staff from the Union also held a fast for charity recently as part of the National Day of Fasting organised by the Islamic Society of Britain.

The event took place in the first week of the month of Ramadan, during which Muslims all over the world observe a fast from dawn to sunset.
