We've had an inspiring end to the week thanks to a presentation by two exceptional students from Petroc College.

Shannon Griffiths and Sade Kingdom approached us this winter for project experience as part of their Health and Social Care foundation degree. They agreed to help us review some of our promotional materials, to make sure they are clear and inclusive. Their project included a survey, research report, and redesign proposals for some of our key leaflets and posters.

The quality of their work and presentation were so impressive that we're taking their recommendations forward to our management board.

Thank you, Shannon and Sade - have a wonderful and well-earned spring break!
