BURY College will be holding a special event on Monday to show how it has used almost £1 million of European funding.

Grants from the European Social Fund have been used to fund 10 projects in the college, benefiting more than 2,000 students.

The money has been used to support individual students with course and exam fees, childcare and travel costs, develop new courses, and increase educational opportunities for the community.

Students will share their experiences and demonstrate the effects the funding has had on their lives at the event, which will be held in the college restaurant from 3pm until 5pm.
