What has happened?
Over the last year, Leeds City College's Student Life team and Students' Union have taken action to meet the needs of our learners impacted by the ongoing cost of living crisis. The Students' Union conducted consultations with our learners and revealed that they wanted access to facilities outside of normal college hours to socialise, study and seek support as well as being able access showers onsite. The team worked to secure donations for the initial pilot of this project which is running across 6 LCC sites and has the protentional to impact the lives of 7,000 learners across the organisation
How does the campaign work?
The funds previously secured by the student life team funded the project until the end of Easter 2023. We are now in the fundraising stage to collect as much money to continue these efforts into the 23/24 college year.
Where does your money go?
All donations will be used to buy toiletries including towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel as well as being put towards after college activities.
