EXETER College students have kicked off a year of fundraising.

The teenagers participated in RAG, or Raising and Giving week, with the highlight a sponsored jailbreak.

The students had to get as far away from Exeter as possible without spending any money.

The jailbreak is one of the college’s biggest fundraisers of the year.
All participants, wearing fancy dress, had eight hours to make their trip.

They were armed with charity buckets, a camera and a letter to the transport companies. Prizes were given to the team who raised most money and got furthest away.

Last year, the college’s Student Union raised just under £10,000 for Nightstop, the biggest ever since donation in the charity’s history.
