Bury College has taken a firm stand against hate crime and racism by raising awareness during Hate Crime Awareness Week, which ran from 12th to 19th October, in addition to supporting the Show Racism the Red Card initiative.
Bury College is proud to have the support of the whole of our college community in raising funds for a range of charities, both national and regional.
Typical fundraising activities from our staff and students includes the donation of food items and other products to local foodbanks and networks, supporting national charity events like Wear a Hat Day for Brain Tumour Research, and challenging themselves to complete the 7 Step Marathon Challenge for Comic Relief.
