College Students Recognised at Awards Ceremony

Award Winners

Students from The College of Animal Welfare in Godmanchester had their achievements recognised at the College’s annual Students Awards Ceremony on Saturday 29 November.

The Awards Ceremony was a celebration of achievements that students have made during the past year, not only at the College’s Godmanchester centre but also at its other centres in Potters Bar, Leeds and Edinburgh, as well as students who are learning in their work place all over the country.

Each student who received an award had worked hard to reach a high standard and, in some cases, overcome personal challenges.

This year the awards were presented by Graham Fuller MBE, former Chief Executive of Wood Green, The Animals Charity. Mr Fuller, who was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday honours list for services to animal welfare, was instrumental in first creating The College of Animal Welfare when it was part of Wood Green in 1989. This year’s ceremony was particularly poignant as it marked the College’s Silver Jubilee anniversary.

Barbara Cooper, Principal of The College of Animal Welfare, said: ‘The Awards Ceremony is one of the biggest highlights of our year. All of the award winners have worked really hard and thoroughly deserve this recognition for their efforts’. She continued ‘I would like to congratulate all our award winners and wish them every success for the future’.

The award winners were presented with a commemorative trophy during the ceremony at the College’s centre in Chord Business Park on London Road in Godmanchester.
