SERC Students Raise Cancer Awareness at the Balmoral Show

On Wednesday 10 May, 1st year students studying on the Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Uniformed Protective Services at SERC Bangor Campus, spent the day volunteering at the Balmoral Show. The students carried out successful bucket collections for Cancer Focus NI, raising vital funds to help reduce the impact of cancer on local people’s lives.    

The students also supervised a fundraising activity for children with the charity’s sponsor, Northstone Materials. Some students helped at the Cancer Focus NI health information stand, speaking with customers about the benefits of quitting smoking and the importance of sun protection. Three students returned on Saturday, 13 May to work at the Food NI stand.  The students accrued hours for Duke of Edinburgh Awards and Volunteer Now Impact Awards.
