The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Tutor groups at the South Holland Post 16 Centre rose to the challenge of raising money for charity during the summer term.
Emma Barlow’s group opted for the Make A Wish charity which funds giving children with terminal illnesses the chance to have a wish come true.
One of the students – Jade Hewitt – carried out a very challenging sponsored silence for seven hours during a college day and managed to raise £208.05.
Mrs Barlow said: “Jade should be very proud of her efforts. She is studying health and social care and is hoping to go on and practice as a paediatric nurse.
“I’m sure with her level of determination that she will go on to succeed and make a wonderful nurse.
Jade is pictured presenting a cheque to Simon Cross from Make A Wish during the college assembly.
Simon told the students on his visit all about the charity and how the money would be used.
