Catering students raise vital funds for Tŷ Gobaith

Coleg Llandrillo Hospitality and Catering students raised £457 for children’s hospice Tŷ Gobaith.

The college hosted an evening meal and raffle in the Orme View Restaurant at the Rhos-on-Sea campus, with proceeds going to the hospice.

Tŷ Gobaith fundraiser Vanessa Marubbi, said: “We are so grateful to the team at Coleg Llandrillo for thinking of us and putting on this event.

“It was a wonderful evening and a great total that will make a real difference to local seriously ill children and their families.”

Mike Garner, hospitality lecturer at Coleg Llandrillo, said: "Tŷ Gobaith provides vitally important care for terminally ill children and their families in our community, and it was good for our learners to be able to give something back.

"Our Level 1, 2 and 3 Catering and Hospitality students prepared, cooked and served all the food, so they gained invaluable experience while also raising money for such a worthy cause.

"We're very proud of our staff and students for putting on such an enjoyable and successful event, and very pleased to be able to help Tŷ Gobaith."
