In addition to this, I also followed up from the interview with Paul Wilson by writing a summary of the notes taken. From this I did extended research into some of the points covered in the interview. For example, NESCOT's Sports Tutor Dan Raffo participated in running a marathon in Sierra Leone, however, from the interview I did not assertain the amount of money raised, I therefore researched this on the 'Just Giving' internet charity platform.
As part of my primary research, I considered the 'community' aspect and then began to research the College's influence and involvement. I accessed online newspapers, such as The Guardian, as well as charity sites, such as The Blue Cross to gain information about the work NESCOT has done. I also looked into the official NESCOT website regarding the facilities available to the general public. From this, it then sparked the idea 'what does the local community actually know about NESCOT?'. I then created a questionnaire to gain an understanding of what the local community know about the college, and whether they know about any of the facilities available to them as non-students (The next blog post includes the questionnaire). I will distribute this by hand on Epsom high street as well as broadcasting the online survey to my social social media sites.
