A Uniformed Services student at the Cambridge campus of the College of West Anglia will be jetting nearly 7,000 to do voluntary work in the Philippines. And to help John Chilton, 18, on his way, fellow students and his lecturer netted more than £300 in a day of fundraising at the campus at Milton. This involved sponsored step-ups on a step box and everyone provide homemade cakes which swelled funds by more than £60. Seven students and lecturer Rob Cooke did the step-ups while others helped by manning the cake stall. John, from Bourne, will work in the Philippines for the charity Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO), probably helping an education programme. He has now also received a Rotary Club grant and with money from his family, it means money raised from the uniformed services student will be donated to VSO> His lecturer Rob Cooke: “It is something you can’t not want for someone to take part in.” John is just completing the second of a three-year Level 3 uniformed services.   PICTURES   Left: Ready to serve…John Chilton is off to the Philippines to help others   Stepping out to serve…John Chilton takes his turn on a step box as part of fundraising for VSO (centre) Right: John Chilton, seated, and others who joined the fundraising at the Cambridge campus of the College of West Anglia at Milton.
