Balsam Bashing for Pembrok
The College’s annual Make a Difference Day (MaDD) took place
earlier this month and saw over 100 staff provide support to 13
community projects right across the county. Projects ranged from
painting work at the Avenue Social Centre i n Tenby, to Balsam
bashing for Pembroke 21C and painting and maintaining boats for
Fishguard Sea Cadets.
A further nine projects are due to be completed throughout August
including cutting down a hedge at Shalom House in Saint Davids and
some general gardening for Cleddau River Day Unit.
Now a regular date in the College calendar, Make a Difference Day
aims to help community g roups and charities across Pembrokeshire to
complete jobs that they may not otherwise have the manpower to
complete themselves and show just how much the College values its
community and environment.
Kathryn Robson, founder of Pembrokeshire College’s Make a Difference
Day and Director of HR and Learner Services at the College commented;
“Once again many of our staff turned out to give their time and skills
for our local community as part of MaDD. There are so many benefits to
this annual event and I am delighted that the College is able to give all
staff a day each year to make a difference. This will continue to be a
firm date in the College calendar.”
Want to get involved in 2015?
