Which college does most charity stuff at Durham?

Hi!
Anyone who is currently at Durham, do you know which college is most involved in the DUCK charity stuff? I am applying next year and I'm really into charity work etc so i wanted to go to a college that was enthusiatic about that side of things! Any idea which college wins the shield most often (I think I'm right that there's a shield for raising money.... that could be a rumour..)
Thank you! :smile:

The Stockton colleges offer housing and education to the underprivileged in our society so if I were you, I'd definitely look into that.

Trevs and Mildert I think. But wherever you go you can use your enthusiasm and ideas to help and make bigger/better DUCK events. Plus there's loads of DUCK stuff outside of college to get involved in, check the website http://duck.dsu.org.uk/ :smile:

Hild Bede does loads - tbh I think all colleges do.

Obviously amount raised is proportional to college size (more students in bigger colleges obviously!) - whichever one you go to, you'll be able to get fully involved in DUCK, and not all DUCK things are college-based anyway, as DUCK's a uni-wide thing :smile:

Trevs is one of the smallest colleges, but I think a couple of times it's raised the highest amount per person. I don't know much about what other colleges do, but we have some pretty awesome events.
Several bar quizzes in a year with proceeds to DUCK, 'Hold the Bar' (I had a front row seat, and it was disgusting), and my favourites were the DUCK Hits during mealtimes for a couple of weeks - pay a few quid to have slightly unpleasant things happen to your friends and enemies. :rolleyes:

Mildert has a massive DUCK culture (coming from an old Collingwood DUCK rep), although most colleges have a lot going on. Collingwood is keen on both DUCK and SCA (Student Community Action- volunteering in the local area) :biggrin:

(got to plug the old college, you know how it is). Avoid Castle, they've been quite quiet on DUCK.

at the moment I am thinking of applying to trevs, johns or chads. It sounds like Trevs are pretty good, but are the other tqo ok as far as you know? I just want to avoid them if they are known for not organizing charity stuff (like the castle tip - thank you for that!)
