Thousands of bricks donated to Stamford College
They will be used as part of Bricklaying courses
More than 10,000 bricks have been donated to Stamford College by housebuilder Allison Homes.
The aim is to support the education of students at the college.
It is estimated the bricks will last the college between two or three years.
They will be used as part of its Bricklaying courses.
Students will be able to learn and practise construction skills by building and rebuilding wall structures using the bricks.
Emma Hill, Head of Department for Technical Skills at Stamford College, said:
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Allison Homes for their generous donation of a large number of bricks given to the Brickwork department at Stamford College.
"This has provided all our students with good quality resources and exposure to a wider range of bricks to further develop their practical skills, preparing them for on-site employment.
"At present building materials have significantly increased in cost, therefore as a college we are truly grateful and appreciate Allison’s generous support and look forward to continue our partnership with their company in the future."
Rob Crossland, Construction Director at Allison Homes, added:
"We’re so glad that the donation of bricks was well-received by Stamford College.
"Many of our trade apprentices have come from Stamford College so we have a long-standing relationship.
"Plus, being based in nearby Bourne and having two developments local to the college, we thought that it was important to support them where we could.
"We believe that it is hugely important to encourage young talent in the construction sector and provide students with the best resources possible, and we hope our donation will benefit the apprentices for many years to come."
