Newcastle-Under-Lyme College students have raised over £300 by Painting the Town Pink in support of Breast Cancer Campaign.
The Level 2 Diploma in Understanding Enterprise and Entrepreneurship learners ran a market stall in Newcastle town centre selling donated goods in an “Apprentice-style” team challenge.
Said Jan Heath, as Lecturer in Business and Enterprise: ”To raise over £300 was a real achievement on a day when town was lashed in rain and almost deserted. We’re grateful for the support of Sheila Weightman, Breast Cancer Campaign’s coordinator, Andy McGill form Newcastle Borough Council and all the local businesses and College departments who helped or donated good.”
The activity formed part of the students’ assessment in working as a team and will be followed by three more team challenges, culminating in a Dragon’s Lair final.
