COMMUNITY
We invited local primary schools to join us and with the help of our students they planted 50 small trees. We also helped them make bird boxes to take back to their schools to remember their visit
to the RVC. This is something we are hoping to repeat in March 2021, where we plan to plant hedgerows.
12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS APPEAL
In December last year, we launched a 12 days of Christmas reverse advent calendar to support our local Trussell Trust Foodbank. This was a huge success, which saw donations flying in every day from students and staff alike. We will be continuing to support our local foodbanks on an ongoing basis.
If you are part of the RVC’s local community and would like to help make a difference, contact us at communityrelations@rvc.ac.uk
