Fresher's Fair

Reading College ran a vibrant and exciting Fresher’s Fair in 2011, with over 2,000 students attending to find out about support services within college and the local community - and of course to pick up some of the freebies offered by local shops and businesses!

We are hoping to build on the success of the event this year: Fresher’s Fair 2012 will be held in October. Get involved as it's great fun and a great way to meet people around the college!

Raising and Giving (RAG) week

In May 2011, Reading College staff and students raised £1,291 for three charities – Helen and Douglas House, Parkinsons UK and Berkshire Womens Aid. Fundraising activities we arranged, including:

• students from Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy and Music courses providing their services and entertaining local people in Broad Street Mall
• football tournament
• cakes sales run by staff and students.
