On Saturday 6th November, at 7:45 pm, the College Prefects will, once again, be embarking upon a great challenge - a 24 hour Charity Run. The 18 Prefects will be running in shifts throughout the night, around College Lawn, aiming to cover the distance across the British Isles- a huge challenge for a very worthwhile cause.

This year, the run is in aid of our 2010 College Charity, the National Star College. The College is a local based Charity that offers great support and help to severely disabled and handicapped people aged from 16-25, whilst educating them at the same time. The main aim of the Star College is to aid the students to become as independent as possible, whilst helping them to gain qualifications that could help them with jobs and projects in the future. Currently, the College is home to 140 full boarders, and 30 day students, and although its facilities are far better than they would receive at home, they are in drastic need of an update.

With our help the College would, amongst other things, be able to edge closer to their fundraising target of £7 million and this would enable the installation of vital equipment to facilitate such tasks. However, with no government funding, the only way of raising this amount is through public donations and contributions.

All donations will be gratefully received

Many thanks!
