Students help out to do up house for family in need
Kind-hearted college students have been getting hands-on and sprucing up a property to get it ready to house a family in need.
A group of 60 students from City of Wolverhampton College have been working on the house in Oakengates, Telford.
The students, who are studying for diplomas in public services at the college’s Wellington Road campus, have worked on the three-bedroom property throughout the week, stripping wallpaper, sanding skirting boards and door frames, painting walls and applying undercoat and gloss paint to woodwork.
The project links to the students’ course modules on good citizenship and improving the local community, as well as giving them the opportunity to do work experience and extend their learning by gaining a range of additional practical skills.
