16 students from the NULC Uniformed Public Service course have recently spent a day tackling Mount Snowden, the highest mountain in England and Wales. Also, just to make it more challenging the students decided to wear Super Heroes costumes!
The day was organised by the students in support of the British led Beyond Rescue Antarctic Expedition taking place later this year, which is raising money for Fire Fighter and Royal Marine Charities. Visit www.gobeyondrescue.com for more information and how to donate.
The planning and execution of the fundraising event are used by all students on the Level 3 Uniformed Public Services course to gather evidence for their Teamwork and Leadership Level 3 unit.
NULC’s Uniformed Public Services Curriculum Leader, Robert Hadnum said: “Due to high winds and low temperatures we were unable to reach the top. Many climbers were turning around or reporting that weather on the summit was atrocious. However it was great to see the students fully committed to the fundraising event and although we didn’t reach the summit, the hail storms, gale force winds and icy conditions gave them a slight insight into how dangerous the ‘Beyond Rescue’ expedition will be.” Over the two year course the Uniformed Public Service Level 3 students will organise and participate in many fundraising and adventurous actives, providing them with the teamwork and leadership skills that will support them in their future careers.
