School and college Socialist Party members in Walthamstow raised more than £70 selling muffins, cookies and brownies they had baked.

The young members are going to the Socialist Students national conference in Coventry.

People were happy to donate when they explained the money was going to fund their travel up.

Due to the upcoming Socialist Students conference in Coventry on 13 February, we held a bake sale selling muffins, cookies and some brownies.

At the bake sale, we encountered many people who were grandly in support of what we were doing and received several generous donations.

Furthermore, a large number of people were very interested and signed our petition against the air strikes in Syria.

Overall, the bake sale was successful for numerous reasons, one being that we raised an amazing amount of £70.82!
