College charity
The Kenya Community Education Project was set up in 2003 and is run by the college students. This project aims to raise money to maintain a feeding programme for over 120 of the poorest pupils at Madungu Primary School in Kenya. In addition, it aims to pay the salaries of two teachers and supply them with various educational materials. The college holds an annual Kenya Project Day but fundraising continues throughout the year.

Students participate in the annual Cannock Chase Walk to raise funds as well as various events throughout the year. For example, a Walrus Dip.

Members of the project have a chance to go to the Kenyan school every other year.

The college's Islamic Society has formed a charity for Islamic Relief, which fundraises for a week every November.
