Newbury College held a presentation for the Dogs Trust recently in which the College presented Nikki Barrow from the charity with a cheque for £98.22.
Animal Care students at Newbury College chose to raise money for the Dogs Trust as part of their Skills Project, completing a number of charity events including naming the animals, a cake sale and staff leg waxing over the course of the academic year, culminating in a Dogs Show at the College's May Open Day.
Skills Project co-ordinator at Newbury College Sian Ellis, who helped students organise the event said, "The Animal Care students worked hard throughout the project to coordinate and manage fundraising activities for the Dogs Trust. This demonstrated fantastic skills, such as leadership, teamwork, communication and organisation. I am really proud of the students who successfully raised nearly £100 for the charity. We were delighted to present the Dogs Trust with the money raised and look forward to further collaboration between the charity and Newbury College in future".
The Skills Project is compulsory for all Newbury College full time students. The project enables students to enhance their vocational and soft skills, preparing them for future employment.
