“It shows we care about the people who gave their lives for us,” said

Bethany Bourne, part of the level one group which has been involved in the project.

“This is important for me because I really appreciate the people, and the fact that they risked their lives for the war. They are heroes,” added another of the students, Rhonda Antwi.

Tutor Tracy Leah said: “We looked at the importance of Remembrance Day in tutorial and the students linked this to health and social care principles and values and the importance of

respect.”
