The College continues to engage the community with the diverse nature of the College through the promotion, through media of diversity events, including: The Summer SENDsation festival event run by the Northampton Parent Forum Group and Northamptonshire County Council, hosted at Booth Lane Fundraising for the Mzipa Liberty charity in Malawi to raise awareness of access to education overseas A street food festival in The Lane restaurant bringing together students from a wide range of backgrounds. Students from countries including Ethiopia, Sudan, Latvia, Russia, Afghanistan, Vietnam and Eritrea took part in the festival as part of their National Citizen Service qualification. Estates The College is continually seeking ways to enhance its estate in order to support social inclusion. This includes: All gender toilet facilities at all site toilets (e.g. facilities for Wudu) at Booth Lane and Daventry campuses Quite/faith rooms with foot wash facilities at all campuses A purpose build public health room used by the NHS for pregnancy and maternity related matters Buggy service provided for clients who require assistance to access the Lanes Restaurant Raising the level of provision for high needs students with the addition of three mood rooms (two at Booth Lane and one at the Daventry campus), where lighting levels and colours can be altered to meet the needs of individual users. A purpose built special needs kitchen within the Daventry campus provides a facility for up to eight wheelchair users to eat and socialise at any one time. This replicates two such facilities at the Booth Lane Campus.
