Charity at B&FC

At B&FC, we recognise the importance of community support. Therefore, we are dedicated to supporting numerous charities year-round by hosting various curriculum led events. Each curriculum will select one or more charities to support. Throughout the year, we will share our successes and the total amounts raised for these chosen charities.

What have we done this year?

Food Bank

Thanks to the hard work and generosity of colleagues, students and apprentices, we were able to hand over a massive haul of

1,173 food items to the Big Food Project. This supports the wider community and helps to ease some of the added pressures many local families face over the festive period.

This college-wide effort surpassed the previous year’s total and was led by colleagues across our Student Services area – and our brilliant Student Reps who collected donations from across all our sites.

Well done to everyone involved!

Children in need

Student reps came together to help bake, decorate and sell cup cakes and biscuits to help raise money for children in need. The sale at both Bispham and UC was a massive success with reps selling out of cakes before lunches end.

All together we raised: £143.64!
