Written by James Gadsby-Peet 8th February 2010

The children of Ellesmere College, Leicester were delighted to be presented their brand new Sunshine Coach by Leicester Tiger stars Boris Stankovich and Alesana Tuilagi, with managing director of Thomas Cook's sales division Simon Robinson.

The college caters for 238 pupils aged 11 - 18 years with autism, moderate learning difficulties, visual and hearing impairments and emotional and behavioural difficulties. The minibus will be used to transport the students on various curriculum & non-curriculum visits to help aid skills for independence.

Thomas Cook have been supporting The Variety Club for a number of years and have sponsored six Sunshine Coaches in that time, as well as funding the Thomas Cook Critical Care Ward at The Variety Club Children's Hospital in King's College Hospital.
