A Gower College Swansea student has returned from a four-day visit to Bulgaria as part of an Erasmus+ sports project.
The trip came about after ESOL tutors at the college were approached by ColegauCymru to see if any of their students would like to apply for the role of Youth Sports Development Ambassador (YSDA).
Thanks to everyone who supported the ESOL team's annual 'Walk in her Shoes' sponsored stroll for Care International - staff and students braved the rain to walk from Llwyn y Bryn to Brynmill, then Singleton, the seafront (Oystermouth Rd) and back again.
So far they have raised £351.43 - which is a fantastic achievement.
