Velindre Charity Walk

We are incredibly proud of our learners, Riley and Macey, who are Young Ambassadors for Velindre. Today, they are walking nearly 16 miles to Velindre Cancer Centre, from Pencoed; that’s further than a half-marathon!

As part of ‘Wear Red for Velindre’, they are raising funds to support support cancer pateients and their families. This includes resources for young children, such as memory boxes and ‘worry teddies’, as well as age appropriate story books to help explain what cancer is.

If you would like to support their fundraising efforts, you can donate here.

Hands-on Hospitality

Our Hospitality and Catering learners have been gaining valuable experience, and showing off their skills.

In Year 10, learners were recently treated to a masterclass in poultry preparation with Kev Hall, Chef and Lecturer at Coleg y Cymoedd. The learners thoroughly enjoyed the session, especially sampling a range of delicious dishes afterward!

In addition, three of our talented Year 11 Hospitality and Catering learners recently entered the Springboard FutureChef competition at Bridgend College. The guest judges were hugely complimentary of our learners, praising their efforts and professionalism. We’re immensely proud; da iawn, pawb!
