Enrichment

Through enrichment, you’ll be given the chance to learn a variety of new and interesting skills, which will aid you when applying for jobs or places at universities.

The activities we run will enable you to socialise outside of your classes and help you to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Activities take place all year round and are designed to help you with your studies whilst allowing you to have fun and feel relaxed.

Lucy Armstrong Engagement Officer

Meet your Engagement Officer Lucy!

Lucy graduated from the University of Leeds with a first-class degree in Liberal Arts, where she specialised in sociology. During her time at university, she was president of the Feminist Society and worked as an Education Engagement Ambassador where she led sessions designed to help local students access higher education.

As our Engagement Officer, Lucy is here to help make your student experience as engaging and well-rounded as possible. She runs a programme of clubs, activities and feedback forums to ensure your time at college goes beyond your course. You can find the Enrichment office in the Crescent Canteen.

"My favourite part of the role is helping students discover new interests and hobbies that they never would've tried before, like many of the students in our popular Warhammer club, who were completely new to the hobby and have since enjoyed a trip to Warhammer World in Nottingham! It is also a pleasure to support our LGBTQ+ students through representation and collaboration, as well as manage our Axess Sexual Health resources and information point".
