Story
We know two families whose children attend New College Worcester.
We love the ethos of the organisation which empowers kids to reach their full potential, to grow in independence and to immerse themselves in school life.
It's truly inspiring that they are able to tailor all aspects of school life to each individual and their needs.
We have seen our friend's son grow and learn without boundaries.
I love being outdoors and keeping active, and this charity canoeing event is the perfect way to raise awareness about VI and the incredible work done at New College Worcester.
I am very happy to be part of this fund raising effort and I'm looking forward to the challenge.
Thank you for your support.
This is no ordinary event and over three days as a team we will canoe approximately 80 miles whilst raising funds for the College. We will start at Melverly and pass through the beautiful towns of Shrewsbury, Iron Bridge and Bridgenorth before finishing in Worcester on day three.
This is an epic adventure and one that everyone will remember.
NCW is a national residential school and college for young people aged 11 to 19 who are blind or vision impaired.
The majority of the students school fees are paid by their own local authority. This covers the cost of their education and residency and any one-one support a student may need. However, the costs associated with general maintenance, unexpected repairs, the school refurbishment programme, school vehicles and most trips and activities are paid for by the School, supported as much as possible by our Fundraising department. We are always very grateful to receive donations that in some way helps to provide our students with the facilities, opportunities and experiences they deserve. Our fundraising team work with supporters from across the UK and are always on hand to support you in your fundraising efforts.
