ArtEquals Exhibition & Auction
Thank you to all those who organised, took part in and attended this wonderful exhibition and auction. The Great Hall was buzzing with students, their families, local artists and the wider college community. Over £4,800 was raised on the night, thanks to generous pledges from guests and sponsorship by Intertrust Group, with over 80 artworks being sold.
The funds that we raised from this unique event will go towards the development of a Wellbeing Garden at Victoria College, taking the students directly into the natural environment where they can reflect in a quiet space. We are really pleased that the hard work that went into the event will directly lead to a benefit to the mental health and wellbeing of our young people.
