The Chaucer Group and The Local Community
The Chaucer College group is a registered charity. The Charities Act (2006) stipulates that registered charities should demonstrate “public benefit”. In accordance with this expectation, the College’s students engage in a variety of activities, including participation in local cultural festivals and an extensive community volunteering programme, details of which may be found on the College’s website. Open Days or Open Evenings are held regularly, and the Colleges also offer accommodation and conference facilities to other local organisations. Students also visit local schools as “cultural ambassadors” for Japan.
