STUDENTS will take part in a football tournament to raise money for Children in Need.

Foundation students aged 16 to 18-years-old at North West Kent College will take part in the tournament at its Gravesend campus in Dering Way.

Christian Dixon, who is a care assistant at the college is helping to coordinate the event.

The 43-year-old said :“This is the third year that we have held the tournament and the students always really enjoy it.

“On the day the students will also learn about healthy eating, with a talk from a sports tutor at the college.”

The fundraising event will take place on November 20 at the college’s sports hall, Body Matters.

Mr Dixon added: “The youngsters get sponsored to take part and all of the money raised will be donated to Children in Need.

“Last year we raised £862, but this year we’re aiming to raise even more.”
