RECENT NEWS STORIES
<p>A group of adult students recently hosted a fashion fundraiser in Weston-super-Mare, bringing together the local community for an evening of style, entertainment, and charitable giving.</p><p>The event, organised by a focus group consisting of Lauren, Seonagh, Julie, and Tash as part of their pre-employment course, successfully raised funds for <a href="https://westonhospicecare.org.uk/"><strong>Weston Hospicecare</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.mndassociation.org/"><strong>Motor Neurone Disease Association</strong></a><strong>, </strong>and <a href="https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/"><strong>Alzheimer’s Society</strong></a><strong>.</strong> It showcased how education, creativity, and community spirit can come together to make a meaningful impact.</p><p>The focus group have worked on this project since last December, and the project has encouraged them to develop their skills for the workplace. The group also recently won the ‘Making a Difference’ award at our Student Conference, showing the impact they have had on their own personal development as well as the community.</p><p>The North Somerset Scrapstore played a key role in supporting a successful steampunk-themed fundraising fashion show, providing many of the materials used to create the outfits. The fashion show raised money for three charities: the Alzheimer's Society, Weston Hospicecare, and the MND Association. Funds were generated through online ticket sales, tickets sold on the door, a raffle and auction, the sale of donated clothing, and photography sales from the event. Initial estimates suggest that approximately £750 was raised for each charity, with final figures to be confirmed.</p><p>Many of the outfits featured in the show were donated, altered, or created by the team themselves using reclaimed materials. Hair and makeup were provided free of charge by a volunteer, helping to keep costs low and maximise fundraising efforts.</p><p>The event was held at the Borough Arms and featured entertainment from two local singers, Angela and Annie. Models were recruited from across Weston-super-Mare through local Facebook groups, resulting in a diverse range of participants of different ages and body types. Promotion was supported by local media, with the Weston Mercury helping to publicise the event to a wider audience. Photography was provided by an external photographer who volunteered through a connection with one of the students.</p><p>Organising the event presented several challenges, including marketing, securing support from local businesses, arranging a venue, and coordinating a group with differing schedules. Despite these obstacles, the team successfully delivered the event and reflected on lessons learned, discussing how they might improve future events.</p><p>The fundraiser formed part of the students’ coursework, offering valuable real-world experience in event management and community engagement – key components of their current studies. Thanks to strong attendance and generous donations, the event made a meaningful contribution to all three charities.</p><p>Juliette Weaver, Lecturer in Pre-Employment, said:<em> <span data-teams="true">"When people work together with passion and purpose, amazing things happen. This group proved that by creating a charity fashion show that brought their community together and made a positive impact."</span></em></p><p>Take a look at our pre-employment courses <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/employment-support">here.</a>…;

Throughout the placement, he demonstrated professionalism, enthusiasm, and a real willingness to learn - qualities that made a strong impression on the team at Lloyds. </p><p>His strong performance opened an exciting door: an invitation to apply for Lloyds Bank’s competitive Degree Apprenticeship programme. Rising to the challenge, Thomas completed each stage of the application process, including attending a full assessment centre alongside candidates from across the region. His hard work paid off - he successfully secured a place on the Degree Apprenticeship, starting this September. </p><p>This fantastic achievement highlights the value of T-Level industry placements in giving students real-world experience, industry insight, and, in some cases, a direct pathway into long term career opportunities. We’re incredibly proud of their journey and wish him continued success as he embarks on this next exciting chapter with Lloyds Bank.</p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/image%20%2811%29.jpg" data-entity-uuid="135b5aab-b3ea-4b11-a1fb-c8c5cf12bbd1" data-entity-type="file" alt="Lloyds Bank" width="960" height="480"><p> </p><p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/News%20%282%29.png" data-entity-uuid="8bc6b839-1f8d-4578-89ba-acda10c5054b" data-entity-type="file" alt="Key dates and upcoming events" width="1300" height="285"></p><p><strong><u>Key Dates: </u></strong></p><p>Thursday 9th April 2026 - <a href="https://jobfairssouthwest.co.uk/events/weston-jobs-fair"><strong>Weston Jobs Fair</strong></a></p><p>Tuesday 14th April 2026 - <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/event/knightstone-campus-half-term-workshops">… Campus Half-Term Workshops</strong></a></p><p>Wednesday 15th April 2026 - <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/event/loxton-half-term-workshops"><strong>Loxt… Campus Half-Term Workshops</strong></a></p><p>Wednesday 22nd April 2026 - <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/event/engineering-fast-track-event"><strong>En… Fast Track Event</strong></a></p><p> </p><p><a href="mailto:cet@weston.ac.uk">Get in touch with the Careers and Employability Team, by clicking here. </a></p>

One Message, Different Voices
Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.
Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
