Students and staff at our Edinburgh centre are thrilled to have raised £784 at Edinburgh’s Gung Ho Event on Saturday 11 June, efforts which have not gone unnoticed by Edinburgh Centre Manager Karen Hibell, who was quick to congratulate those involved: “The College has a proud history of fundraising for good causes and, as always, I’m extremely proud of our staff and students for participating.”
Hosted at The Meadows in Edinburgh, the event saw students and staff participate in a 5k fun run. The money was raised on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support and Therapet Canine Concern Scotland Trust. Chantelle Thayne, Administration Apprentice at our Edinburgh centre, attended the event, adding: “The fun run was a great way for us to come together as a group and raise money for charities that are sometimes overlooked, but do vital and important work for the community!”
The College of Animal Welfare encourage students to contribute not only to College life, but to the wider community. To this end students hold various fundraising events throughout the year. More information can be found on our website.
