The UK’s leading developer of specialised leak detection, water sustainability and environmental protection systems, Andel, is supporting students in need at Barnsley College this Christmas, by donating food packs.

The Pantry, an initiative created by the Student Services department at Barnsley College, is collecting non-perishable food and drink to make up food parcels to support students, apprentices and their families who are in need over the Christmas break.

Over the past two years, Barnsley College has have supported around 300 students and apprentices with food parcels for their families at Christmas and is continuing to provide this essential support.

When Andel was approached by Barnsley College to see if there was any anything Andel could do to support their annual student food collection, Directors and Staff responded accordingly. The team put together three large boxes of food and drink to donate to the Bransley College Christmas Pantry.
