Fundraising Cheque Presented
to St Luke’s Hospice

In December, student representatives from the College
visited St Luke’s Hospice and presented them with a cheque
for £1938.13.
This amazing total was raised through various fundraising
events at the College. The students had a question and
answer session and a tour around the hospice. They were
also asked to help decorate the memory Christmas tree
which was very moving.
Mrs Shore, Associate Leader, who accompanied the
students, said, “I was immensely proud of all of them as their
conduct was impeccable. So polite and respectful, a real
credit to the College.”
