Students and staff at Wiltshire College joined together in fundraising activities for Children in Need this week.

Chippenham students spent part of Tuesday battling it out in the Bid for a Butler auction where members of staff and some students volunteered an hour of their time to serving the winner.

At the Lackham campus, also on Tuesday, some students braved a sponsored waxing. This was followed by a gunging and a car wash at the Chippenham campus on Wednesday. People paid to vote for who they would like to be gunged, while a car wash took place elsewhere.

Beauty students were due to be giving people Pudsey nail art in the Chippenham canteen this morning while staff at Trowbridge prepared for a 79 miles bike ride on exercise bikes.
