We are very grateful to PC Bourne for securing the grant and are very proud of the MPC Eastbourne Learners for clearly displaying the Core Values to such a high standard.

PC Bourne said,

“I’m really happy to have been able to help the college to fund vital equipment to further assist its students. “I’ve seen at first-hand the engaging and motivating environment created by staff to help learners achieve their potential and to progress onto their chosen career path.”
