There were many emotional moments last Friday, none more so than when Rachel Tredwell told us about her son Simon's battle with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) since birth. Simon then took to the stage to give his own account of this potentially life-threatening condition and how he is now living (and playing rugby) with EB. DEBRA UK is a national medical research charity and patient support organisation for anyone in the UK living with an inherited form of EB, their family members, carers, plus healthcare professionals and researchers specialising in epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Thank you to Simon, Rachel and Ann Avarne from Debra UK who joined us on the day.

Team Blue Blood were a late joiner to Raise'24 but have made a huge impact in many ways and are now working with charities to provide some surplus clothing stock to those in need over Christmas - great work guys! The team including the fantastic Dale Harris Brioney Moss Benjamin Cook and Ernie Moss were great fun to have there on the day and you can still contribute to their total below. The brilliant Ben won Performer of the Day singing and playing the guitar for Snow Patrol's "Run" - well done Ben!!

As guests returned to the Great Hall after pre lunch drinks in the college bar, they were greeted by Oxford Gospel Choir - it was such a wonderful sight and sound and made for such a warm and vibrant start to the afternoon. Thank you so much to Naomi Stewart Hale and Choir Director Jules Francis-Sinclair for organising and lovely to see some familiar faces in the choir including the brilliant Elaine McKechnie and Kelly Henwood.
