For some it might be the end of term, but our very own Richard Ellis has a few miles to go before he can put his feet up.
He's going to be taking on the Land's End to John O'Groats in just over a week's time, raising money to support WESC Foundation's work with visually impaired children and young adults.
Richard has worked here for over 30 years, and will be completing LEJOG as one of 60 challenges he's set himself in his 60th birthday year.
⭐ Please share the link and help him to smash his fundraising target ⭐

What a morning at WESCFEST.
Visits from Shaldon Wildlife Trust, staff in the stocks, an epic BBQ, live music of all sorts, a visiting tortoise or two, lots of yummy sweet treats for sale, student enterprises (including Katie selling her homemade crafts and Joseph offering hand massages) a human fruit machine and so much more.
Great to see our therapy team adapting their cake decorating stand with switches (to help our young people make their own choices). Thanks as well to Queen Elizabeth’s School in Crediton for lending us your wind socks which were designed with visually impaired children in mind. 👍
Nearly time for the marquee to come down and the bunting to go away for another year. ...
