events and activities (2008 - 2009)
ESCA runs a wide range of events throughout the academic year including annual events and specific events to meet immeadiate or short term fundraising needs.
Below you will find a list of all the events ESCA is running, as well as some other events that ESCA has involvement in. If the event has already passed, we will hopefully be able to update this page with how much money it raised for charity, so keep checking back to see how we are doing...
