STAFF at a Winchester college have been awarded for their hard work during the national lockdown earlier this year. Sparsholt College and University Centre Sparsholt have announced that its animal management centre (AMC) and equine centre teams have been awarded the Pride of Winchester Award by the Mayor of Winchester, Cllr Patrick Cunningham. These teams were nominated by the college for their incredible hard work during the national lockdown period earlier this year. With most students and staff members working and learning remotely and online, staff from these teams, other areas of college and even principal Julie Milburn went above and beyond their normal duties to ensure the excellent standards of husbandry and welfare continued to be delivered to the animals living at Sparsholt’s countryside campus.
