INTO's new charity, INTO Giving, has recently been launched, starting with participation in this year's Banjul Challenge, a trans-saharan expedition from the UK to the Gambia between 11th January to 1st February 2009.

INTO Giving will be sponsoring three cars and hopes to raise £50,000 for educational projects in the Gambia, Zambia and China. Visit the website www.into-giving.com or contact Marketing Manager, JoJo Ramsden j.ramsden@exeter.ac.uk for further information; to volunteer your assistance; or with any suggestions for fundraising activities.

INTO Exeter has already raised £50 with the sale of its hot off the press Christmas cards, and is soon due to publish its own recipe book, with contributions of recipes from staff and students. 

Next week sees the start of a secondhand book sale at INTO Exeter, and a number of fundraising social events will continue to be organised from now on with a view to raising funds in the longterm.
