It was our intention that the Principal’s Charity for 2022/23 would be nominated and chosen by staff.
However, with the ever-increasing cost of living impacting on staff and students alike, we have taken the decision for the Principal’s Charity to support the college’s Food Pantry project and Clothes Swap in 2022/23.
Further details regarding events to support the Principal’s Charity in 2022/23 will be shared over the coming months. However, in the meantime, if you would like to donate to the Food Pantry, the following items would be gratefully received.

Clothes Swap
