Students make new friends over bowls of coco pops, while raising money for the SU's Big 4 charities
On Wednesday 11 October students got together in The Edge, the Universty's Arts building on campus, helped themselves to cereal and milk and got to know some new people!
It was a casual and interactive breakfast event, with cereals and milk available at the bar counter and background music adding to a lively atmosphere. All participants switched partners every 5 minutes so they got a good chance to mingle!
Cereal Dating is the first event this year run by the student-led fundraising group RAG (Raise and Give) and all profits from ticket sales go to RAG's Big 4 charities, which are voted for each year by students. £144 was raised, which will go towards the overall total at the end of the year for the Big 4 which this year are Wicked Weather Watch, Heswall Disabled, Children's Holiday Fund, St Mungo's and Action for Children.

Organisers and attendees were delighted with how it went, and are hoping to do similar events in the future.
