We have trained and provided new branded uniform for over 40 Coventry College students providing them access to deliver over 300 volunteer hours so far across the city with involvement in a range of opportunities. Jaspreet Atwal, Coventry College Industry Placement Team Leader, explains here how the programme has been of benefit to their students:
I started on my City Host journey in May/June 2021. I saw the drive to recruit City Hosts and felt drawn to it, showcasing and helping our city at such an important and exciting time.

Explaining that as well as being welcomed by everyone on the team I felt I was giving something back, I had gained fulfilment, made new friends and had such a happy, lovely time on shifts.
My sister recently moved back to Cov after a number of years l...
