How to apply to study at Nescot.

Our new cohort of Foundation Learning Entry Level 3 Further Education Pathway students have been raising money for the charity, Macmillan Cancer Support. They have exceeded their target this year, raising an incredible total of almost £600 for Macmillan.

The students baked and sold delicious cakes and savouries to staff and students at the college. They also held a pre-loved costume jewellery sale and a raffle with multiple prizes that included free hair treatments at the college’s on-site salon, Innovation.

Tutors, Julie Bundhoo and Maliha Usman who organised the event were very proud of how the students came together as a team and individually to raise money for a worthy cause.

Julie Bundhoo, Foundation Learning lecturer said, “The students showed great commitment and enthusiasm whilst planning the event. They made posters to raise awareness, baked cakes during lessons and decorated the Seasons café. For the first time this year, they fundraised individually too by taking on sponsored tasks at home, for instance, foregoing their mobile phone for a period, cooking meals at home or taking their dogs out for a walk, raising over £140 through their efforts.”

Julie added, “Through the fundraising event, our students have enhanced their communication, teamwork and enterprise skills and also developed confidence and skills for life and all for a good cause. A huge thank you to staff across the college for their support in raising funds for this very worthy cause.”
