Students paint the town pink!

Students studying BTEC Level 2 and 3 in Business got off to a great start to the academic year, with a guest speaker from Breast Cancer UK, launching the ‘Paint the Town Pink’ project.

The aim of the ‘Paint the Town Pink’ project is to raise money for breast cancer as well as giving the learners a real life project to work on, demonstrating many skills including finance and marketing.

Sheila Weightman, from Breast Cancer UK, gave the learners an inspiring talk, after which learners were asked to decide on a charity event that they could carry out to raise money and awareness of the charity. The learners came up with some very innovative ideas and one idea was picked by the business lecturers for the learners to complete.

The learners will be aiming to sell as much ribbon as possible to ensure that they can wrap a massive bow around the college, during breast cancer awareness week from the 22 to 26 October. Both the learners and teaching staff are very excited about this challenge as it will teach valuable business skills and raise awareness and money for a very worthwhile cause.
