What our staff say…

‘A very positive step to jolt me out of my normal physical activities and to try new things.’

‘Excellent programme. Feel very lucky to have the support from the College and to work here.’

‘The whole staff team seemed really happy and there was a real positive atmosphere around the college. I got to speak to people from other departments that I wouldn’t normally. There was so much on the activity programme that I would have loved to have done just didn’t get to fit it all in.’
