NULC students pay respects to the British Armed Forces

BTEC Public Services students recently visited the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.  The visit took place as part of their course, to raise the students understanding of what ‘ultimate sacrifice’ means.

Whilst visiting the National Memorial Arboretum the students were given the opportunity to pay their respects on behalf of themselves and the College. During a service of remembrance several students proudly took part in readings and laid a wreath on the Armed Forces Memorial.

Created in 1997, the National Memorial Arboretum is a special place that remembers those who have served, and continue to serve, the British nation in many different ways.

With some 50,000 trees already planted, and 200 dedicated memorials established on the site, the Arboretum is a living tribute that will forever acknowledge the personal sacrifices made by the armed and civil services of this country.

The BTEC Public Services course at NULC provides students with in depth training for careers in the Uniformed forces, such as the Emergency Services, Armed Forces and the Prison Service.
