There was even a chance to ‘Soak The Chief Exec’ at Chichester College with Andy Green getting a soaking at the hands of some keen staff members.
Lisa Humphries, director of student services and pastoral support for the group, said: “What a fantastic effort by our students and staff across all of our colleges. As a group, we have a long and proud history of supporting good causes and charities – locally and nationally.
“That’s something that is fully embedded into our college communities.”
