Many colleagues and students took part in this year’s fifteen mile walk. The weather was kind, cloudy at times with a gentle breeze but most importantly – no rain. Sponsorship money is still being collected, so no news as to the total figure raised but is hoped that over £500 will be donated.

It’s not too late to make a donation, if you would like to make a contribution please visit Learner Services at either Conway Park, Carlett Park or Twelve Quays Campus.

Please support our walkers who suffered aches, pains, sunburn and blisters, on our behalf!

Students and staff at Wirral Metropolitan College’s Conway Park campus received free pots of herbs as part of a campaign to get people to use less salt.

Leading coronary heart disease prevention charity Heart of Mersey, teamed up with The Food Standards Agency and Wirral Primary Care Trust, to give away the herb samples in support of the FSA’s latest national salt awareness campaign, ‘Full of It’.
