Two friends host talent contest for Meningitis research & student's mental heath

Pair also set to hike Kilimanjaro for causes this September

Two friends are taking on Simon Cowell-like roles after creating a talent contest to raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation.

Castletown's Angela Aumonier and Natasha Ellis from Port Erin are both at Exeter University and are the brains behind EXEfactor.

The idea actually came from an original plan of action that was foiled by the pandemic and will also raise awareness of student's mental health.

Angela told Rhian Evans more:



So far they've raised more than £2000 for Meningitis Research. If you'd like to donate, you can do so here.
