Story
South Devon College has 10 campuses that are 36 miles or 72,000 steps apart. All you have to do is complete this distance or part of it any way you choose (you dont have to go between campuses). Get active and get fundraising.
Friends of South Devon College Students is a charity that aims to help disadvantaged students at times of personal crisis, so they can carry on with their studies. We believe that education is a way to improve life chances, but some students face barriers like homelessness, domestic violence, child poverty and mental health issues that make it hard to study.
We raise money to provide support and intervention at these critical times of need. Support is given with the help of the Positive Intervention Team at the college. Examples of our support include warm clothes, emergency housing, free breakfast, free transport, counselling and mental health first aid. There are a growing number of students in need, so we need to raise more funds to provide critical support.
