Freshers Fair welcomes in new academic year
Tue, 22 September 2026
On Tuesday 15th and Thursday 17th September Tameside College and Clarendon Sixth Form College hosted its annual freshers fairs.
During the events, which took place across the college’s Beaufort Road and Tameside One campuses, students had the opportunity to chat with representatives from a variety of organisations and charities, alongside various student support teams.
Exhibitors included Tameside Libraries, Branching Out, Pennine Care NHS Trust, the college’s work experience and school liaison teams, Locala, Bee Network and many more.
The freshers fair gives students the chance to discover what is available to them during their studies, as well as find out about support services for young people in the local area.
Chris Riley, deputy head of student engagement, said: ““Freshers fair is a great way for our students to find out more about the support available to them both within the college and in the wider community. It gives them the chance to speak directly with a range of organisations, discover services that can support their wellbeing and development, and learn more about some of the opportunities available to them during their time with us.””
