Challenge complete! Last chance to donate to John鈥檚 fundraiser for T欧 Hafan.

At Coleg Gwent, we鈥檙e committed to giving back to our community. Every year, staff and learners vote for their charity of choice, and this year, we鈥檙e channelling our fundraising efforts to support, leading Welsh children鈥檚 charity, T欧 Hafan.听

Throughout the year, the college has worked hard to raise money through events such as Wear Green Day.听

One person, in particular, has embarked on an ambitious challenge, as he takes on the incredible challenge of cycling 217 miles from Swansea to Dublin and arriving in time for the Six Nations Ireland v Wales match.听听

John departed from Swansea on Tuesday 20th February and cycled to the tip of Pembrokeshire before crossing the Irish Sea and cycling along the East coast of Ireland, arriving in Dublin on Friday 23rd February.听

John has raised over 拢3,000 for T欧 Hafan. 听

Here鈥檚 a recap of his fundraising activities:听听

• Head shave at our Bl诺m salon.听
• 锔�24 Days of Ice Baths 鈥� John took part in 24 days of ice baths throughout December, channelling the strength and perseverance of the families that T欧 Hafan supports.听听听
• Bucket Collection 鈥� John was at Risca Tesco throughout January to help raise funds for T欧 Hafan.听
• Curry Night and Raffle.听
• Leg Wax 鈥� John had his legs waxed at our Bl诺m salon.听
