Damian Hinds MP Visits Treloar’s School and College in Alton Hampshire

Oct. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Damian Hinds MP recently took time out of his busy schedule to visit Treloar’s Trust in Hampshire, where he viewed the work of both the School and College.

Mr Hinds firstly dropped in on a number of activities at the Treloar School for physically disabled children including physiotherapy, and a speech and language session. He also attended an interesting lesson in literature, where Treloar’s students were busy studying some of Shakespeare’s poems.

The visit then continued at the Treloar College for physically disabled young people, where Damian was greeted by Principal Amanda Quincey.

The tour of Treloar’s College included a visit to TEPS - Treloar’s Enterprise Printing Solutions, where Damian was presented with a picture and coaster specially produced by a student to commemorate his visit.

Damian Hinds commented that he enjoyed his visit, adding that “Treloar’s is an amazing facility – a national and international leader – which we are very lucky to have in East Hampshire. The School and College’s level of care, creativity and ambition of all students are truly impressive and inspiring.”
