RESTORATION COMPLETE
Ever wondered what it’s like to work on real projects that actually make a difference?
At the start of the academic year, our students took on a stripped-back bike and, through months of hands-on learning, teamwork, and problem-solving, have fully restored it to factory condition.
The finished bike has now been handed over to the @yorkshireairambulance, where it will be auctioned to raise vital funds for their lifesaving work across the region. Before that, it will also take part in the @gentlemansride on the 17th, helping to raise awareness and support for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.
This is the kind of real, practical experience you could be part of by developing skills, working on live projects, and seeing your work have a real impact beyond the classroom.
