We wanted to make sure our students knew just how much we admire their heroic work and we have been able to do this thanks to a generous donation of £27,500 from the Santander Universities initiative. Each student has been sent a bespoke card, designed by That MumMoment, thanking them for the commitment and sacrifices they have made this year. They have also received a voucher, worth £24.50, for one of six local businesses - The Gower Coffee Company, Arthur Neave Café and Deli, Fulton Outfitters, Natur Cymru Organic Skincare, Castell Howell and Joe’s Ice Cream. We are so pleased that these rewards will help put money back into the economy and support our local businesses during this tough time, and once again, we’d like to thank our students for working courageously to support the NHS - we’re proud to call them our heroes.
