Fishy delivery to college as students pledge to create emergency blankets for homeless people
A fishy visitor has arrived at Derwen College, in Gobowen, this week, to raise awareness of plastics entering our environment, especially our oceans.
Crispin the Clown Fish was delivered from Oswestry's British Ironwork Centre by chairman and founder Clive Knowles to be greeted by members of the College’s Student Union Board.
The aim is to fill Crispin up with empty crisp packets to be made into survival blankets for people experiencing homelessness.
The fish, which holds around 10,000 crisp packets, will be at the college until the end of January. The packets will then be made into waterproof blankets. Members of the British Ironworks Centre team will be visiting College again to show students at the specialist further education college how to make the survival blankets.
