CLYDEBANK’S college staff and students have raised more than £6,000 for Cancer Research.

West College Scotland’s marketing team set out with a target of £300 and completed the Glasgow, Glencoe and New York Half Marathons, the 10k Step Challenge and the West Highland Way.

They also launched WCS’s very first Big Christmas Raffle and Auction, sourcing more than 100 prizes, from fine dining vouchers to luxury beauty products and VIP football club tours – raising a total of £6,047.10.

Fiona McLaren, a marketing and PR executive who organised the fundraising, said: “This was a great team effort which resulted in a fantastic amount being raised.

"I speak for the whole team when I say we couldn’t have done it without our generous colleagues, friends and family – thank you to everyone who sponsored us, made bids and bought tickets.”
