Plumbing and Electrical Learners Get into Christmas Spirit

Yesterday (Tuesday 6th December), six volunteers from our plumbing and electrical courses headed to Asda in Weston-super-Mare, to give back to the local community.

Learners got stuck in, supporting shoppers and staff throughout the day, taking part in tasks such as: packing customers bags for them, handling stock control and stacking shelves.

Shoppers and staff alike were impressed with the learners, who were praised for working selflessly, and having a smile on their face throughout the day.

Lee Baker, Electrical Lecturer at Weston College, said: “I am so proud of the learners, they not only gave up their time to help others, but they were very happy to be there and offered support in as many different ways as they could.

“The learners were a great representation for Weston College. They were fully engaged, and held some great conversations with members of the public, as well as staff in Asda - it was fantastic to see. A huge well done to all involved.”

A huge well done to our volunteers: Russ, Molly, Jack, Lee, Leon and James.
