The amount was raised by various volunteering groups including RAG, a range of student charity fundraising, and Community Action, which focuses on community-based projects.
Sophie Brookes, RAG co-ordinator, said: "We were very, very happy. It was the most money RAG had ever raised. It was a fantastic achievement." RAG hosted the Safer Sex Ball, which raises awareness of HIV and AIDS. It raised £20,000 alone for the Eddystone Trust.
