Remarkable Health and Social Students have been supporting the Burnley Together Christmas Appeal, which last year helped over a thousand youngsters in Burnley receive gifts for Christmas.
Students collected gifts for children up to the age of 16, raised money for the appeal and volunteered to organise the donations – so hundreds of children have presents to open on Christmas Day.
Kimberley Gorton, Lecturer in Health and Social Services said:
“I’m incredibly proud of my Students. Watching them develop both academically and personally is the reason I love what I do!
“Providing opportunities to Students to support the local community is something we’re incredibly passionate about at Burnley College – we are most definitely at the heart of the community.
“The sense of pride is overwhelming; our Students have made a real difference in making this Christmas one to remember for less fortunate young people and families in Lancashire.”– Kimberley Gorton, Lecturer in Health and Social Services
A key part in our Students development is the extra-curricular side of the Burnley College experience, which is why this was a fantastic opportunity for Students to give back whilst immersing themselves into the community – contributing to bettering the world.
Are you inspired by the incredible work our Students have done? Want to do your part in helping the local community? Book onto our next Open Evening on Tuesday 12 March to discover Burnley College and the outstanding opportunities we offer after GCSEs.
