WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP...

The Friends of South Devon College is a charitable trust established in 2008, whose main aim is to raise funds to remove barriers to education available at South Devon College. We work to ensure that young people who aspire to improve their situation through education but do not have the means can do so . People come to us as a last resort, when all other opportunities for support have been exhausted and they are at risk of having to drop out.

In the past 12 months we have seen a huge rise in applications for help from learners in extreme financial difficulty. We do our utmost to support them and it is no exaggeration to state that without it, scores of young people would have been, or were, in danger of not being able to complete their education.

In the coming year we expect even more demands on our charity as more learners, especially apprentices, fall outside the official support systems. Every pound will help, but in truth we need to at least double our funds to raise £25,000 - £30,000 each year. By supporting us through this page you will enable us to help more young learners complete their education this year.
