Students from Glasgow Clyde College successfully organised a charity car wash and raised more than £200 for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. As part of the college’s partnership with Tomorrow’s People, a group


of unemployed students who are enrolled on the college’s Assist with an Event course organised a car wash to raise funds for the charity and prove their capabilities to potential employers. During the event, which was held at Glasgow Clyde College’s Cardonald Campus, the students spent hours washing cars for fellow students, college staff and members of the public. The charity raises money to provide enhanced medical equipment,


innovative play programmes, and family support services to children and young people who are treated at Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Children. They also help fund ground-breaking paediatric research.
