Cheshire College – South & West is celebrating Loui Frost, Foundation Maths Lecturer, who has been named runner-up for the Individual Fundraiser of the Year at the Good for Me Good for FE Awards 2025. 

These national awards celebrate exceptional contributions in the Further Education sector, highlighting volunteering and fundraising initiatives that deliver meaningful impact within local communities. Loui attended the finals in London, where the results were revealed during a House of Lords reception hosted by Baroness Nicky Morgan on 5 December. 

Loui was nominated due to her dedication and hard work leading the College’s first-ever Christmas Fayre. The event involved students, staff, and members of the local community raising over £800 for Hope Café, a charity providing essential support to asylum seekers. 

The event included a wide range of stalls and activities, many designed and run by students under Loui’s guidance. It has now become an annual tradition, credited with boosting community engagement and providing students with hands-on experience in event management, teamwork, and fundraising. 

Reflecting on the achievement, Loui said:  

“It was such a privilege to be able to visit the House of Lords and meet really inspiring fundraisers and volunteers from colleges across the country. It gave us lots of ideas for how we can engage our students in social action, and we’re starting to plan something even bigger for next year!”   

Principal and CEO Jasbir Dhesi OBE added: 

“Loui’s dedication and leadership have made a real difference to the College and the wider community. She has inspired students to get involved and shown how one person’s initiative can have a lasting impact.” 

Cheshire College – South & West is proud to see Loui recognised nationally and celebrates her achievement as runner-up for this prestigious award.
