It’s the season of goodwill and the theme has been embraced at Harrow College. This month has been a busy one to end the autumn term, from the end of year party hosted by our Student Union and attended by over 200 students, to various charitable and fundraising activities. Here’s the round up.
Level 2 Business Students kicked off the season with a festive stall to fundraise for Cancer Research. They raised more than £140 in just three hours at our Harrow on the Hill campus.
Supported by the Additional Learning Support team, Harrow College students also visited the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore. Following a previous fundraiser that raised more than £200, they presented gifts to staff on behalf of the children that will be staying at the hospital during the festive season. More details of the visit can be viewed here.
Students from the Next Steps Year 1 group organised a pop-up Christmas shop in the Reception area of the Harrow Weald campus. Here they sold a range of handmade gifts and treats for students, successfully raising £27 in just a couple of hours.
Hair and Beauty students (part of Image Salon) also coordinated their own fundraising initiative by enticing customers with a range of treatments including nail art and hairstyling. They succeeded in raising a huge £207 which will be donated to Cancer Research.
In addition to this, Harrow College’s Enterprise Society students (HaCoEnSo) have also raised a massive £120 for Save the Children charity through the sales of baklava, Christmas cards and more. Supported by business lecturer Jay Valand, student representatives used their entrepreneurial skills to encourage their peers to donate money in a bid to raise money for the children’s charity.
All students have worked incredibly hard to fundraise and to motivate the wider student body to contribute to a range of charitable causes.
As we approach 2016 it’s a great reminder of the many social aspects of student life at Harrow College.
