Fresher's Fair in the LG


The Learning Gateway welcomed hundreds of freshers last Wednesday for a special day of freebies and survival tools to see them through life at University of Cumbria. In our packed building, students were given advice on everything from sports clubs, voluntary and paid work opportunities and support services available to them.

The local pubs, clubs and organisations on the social scene were also represented and offered money off vouchers for nights out.

Local organisations included the Mothers’ Union, seen giving out free pasta and rice, to the Abbey Singers and multi-cultural community group leader Saj Ghafoor. Not forgetting, of course, Wilkinson's who were giving out free spatulas - a must for every fresher.
