Students' teamwork is rewarded

Suffolk College students are awarded for completing the Team programme

A group of 13 West Suffolk College students are now the proud holders of a certificate signed by HRH The Prince of Wales after they completed a Prince’s Trust personal development team building programme.

During their 12 week course the group, which included Charlie Findon, from Haverhill, worked at Britannia House Supported Housing Scheme in Bury, building a bike shed, decorating a games room and creating artwork in the courtyard.

To pay for tools and materials students organised various fund raising activities, including a sponsored walk, hair shave and bike ride, raising £500.

They also completed a five-day team building residential week and organised Christmas activities for residents of North Court and The Martins residential homes.
