With a wide range of activities to get involved in, you can pick areas that already appeal to you or try something completely new. We offer sport clubs and societies, interest groups and super-curricular activities plus the chance to gain valuable work experience.
LSFC is your place to thrive.
So, does enrichment benefit you? Getting involved will help you develop a broad range of transferrable skills, which prepare you for life after college. They’ll also make your CV and personal statement look great.
For example, taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award will equip you with skills such as problem solving, perseverance and ability to work as part of a team. Picking up a beginners’ language will demonstrate your academic curiosity. Joining one of our sports teams will grow your communication and leadership skills. Finally, taking part in one of our many work placement and volunteering schemes will provide you with those all-important experiences that set you apart from others in an interview.
