Fundraising for surf safety

Jo Siliprandi, a third year student in CCS was among those who raised funds to buy new safety equipment for the Surf Life Saving Club at Polzeath in Cornwall. Fund-raising began after the tragic death of Jo's boyfriend Tom Balment, who was a student in EURO. Tom died last year while trying to save the life of a friend who was swept from rocks at Polzeath. Since then Tom's parents have been campaigning to raise funds for better safety equipment, including a fully equipped four wheel drive vehicle for the auxiliary coastguards. Jo raised £410 herself by organising a fund-raising event in Brighton.
