HRH The Prince of Wales visited Wandsworth Campus to celebrate College’s 300th Prince’s Trust Team Programme
Prince Charles talked today, (19th Deecember), with the students on the College’s 300th team and heard about their fundraising and community work that is delivered as part of the programme. Also on hand to celebrate this important milestone were College Principal Sue Rimmer OBE, council leader Ravi Govindia, former programme graduates, staff and Martina Milburn CBE, Chief Executive of The Prince’s Trust. Matthew Allen, 19, from Tooting, was part of South Thames’ 300th team. He said: “I never expected I would ever get to meet someone from the Royal Family, so meeting Prince Charles was great. He asked me about what I was doing next, and was nice to talk to.” David Tovey, Team Leader for The Prince’s Trust Team Programme said: “The group have all been so excited to meet Prince Charles and tell him all about the activities they have been involved in – meeting him is definitely a special way for us to celebrate the 300th team milestone.”
“Our passion for the Team Programme has seen South Thames become one of The Prince’s Trust’s most active partners and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to celebrate our 300th team, then with the Prince of Wales visiting us today.” December 20, 2014 |
