Langwith rules the roost when it comes to creativity.
Keen students from the college have hatched a plan to help out featherless battery chickens – by knitting jumpers for them.
The bizarre, but incredibly inventive, YUSU initiative was featured in an email sent to students earlier this month.
A section titled “Langwith does chicken jumpers” said: “This is a really fun volunteering opportunity helping to make jumpers for rescued battery chickens who have lost their feathers so struggle to stay warm in the winter.
“Absolutely no previous skill is required and it’ll be a great way to start volunteering this year!”
The email added that taking part would count towards Langwith’s chances of winning the Dame Judi Dench Cup – a prize given to the college who can get the most people involved in volunteering.
Langwith President, Gimli Son of Gloin, told Vision: “This volunteering opportunity is a great one to be a part of.”
But the college isn’t a stranger to rather peculiar goings on.
Last month, the president announced she would be changing her name by deed poll from Symone Thompson to Gimli Son of Gloin to raise funds in the name of
charity.
