Dr Martin Butler expressed his gratitude for this community support. “On behalf of the student body, we appreciate the work done by IT Services and Ricoh. In these challenging times, this donation makes a great difference to the number of students seeking assistance.”
The money will be used to enable students in need to stay on in college and complete their degrees. Dr Butler concluded “Some, only for the Student Welfare Fund would never get to finish their education, but with this we will carry them over the last hurdle. I look forward to watching them graduate in the near future.”
