Going it alone: the race to raise £1.5 million in 2010
Our students give life and learning everything they’ve got. And we think they deserve every opportunity we can give them. We always have.
That’s why a £15.4m building programme was set in motion in 2006, to help meet the increasingly complex needs of our students.
A pledge by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) to fund half the cost has, however, since been withdrawn partway through our building programme due to the LSC’s mis-management of funds. Despite extensive and constant lobbying by the College, no LSC or Government funding is, as yet, in sight.
So the College, encouraged by the passion and generosity of its supporters, has decided to go it alone. Key elements of this essential development will go ahead as planned – making your support, through the Star Appeal, more vital than ever.
With your help, the Appeal is aiming to raise £1.5 million in 2010 to provide:
These state of the art facilities will make the greatest and most immediate difference to students – enabling them to overcome challenges, increase their confidence, improve their quality of life, and open so many doors for the future.
