Ian Pringle, from South Staffordshire, will walk 50km alongside staff and Uniformed Public Service Learners from Tamworth and Cannock campuses.

The group will walk to the National Arboretum on 10th December to raise funds for those who served by taking part in the military charity Walking With The Wounded’s Walking Home For Christmas campaign.

Commenting on the Walking Home For Christmas challenge, Ian said, “I served 22 years in HM Forces before moving into teaching at South Staffordshire College where with other service veterans we teach young people with aspirations to join the Armed Forces/Emergency services on the Uniformed Public Service course.

Having supported WWTW for several years it allows us to widen awareness to our students as well as raising money for a truly worthy Forces Charity. This year students and staff will walk from their respective campuses at Cannock and Tamworth meeting at the National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas a combined distance of over 50kms.”
