Students support

The Steve Prescott foundation was presented with a cheque for £1513.51 from staff and students at St Helens College.

Head of health sports and public services, Clare Webster, presented the cheque to Steve Prescott campaigner Martin Blondel, and the foundation’s ambassador, Andy Reid.

Students from St Helens College showed their support for former Saints star and charity fundraiser, Steve Prescott, by arranging to raise funds for his foundation.

Activities organised by the college’s staff and students in conjunction with the Steve Prescott Foundation took place in and around St Helens College during a two-day fundraising challenge.

One of the fundraising activities saw Martin Blondel have a hair-raising experience as Level 2 and 3 trainee beauty therapists waxed off Martin’s back, chest and leg hair.

Martin said: “Getting waxed has to be the most painful experience of my life. I’m sure Steve would be laughing if he could have seen me going through the pain.

“I have watched Steve participate in so many challenges and events; I thought it was my time to do my little bit to help the charity continue to grow. I would like to give a special thanks to St Helens College and other businesses who continue to support us to help those who are less fortunate.”
