In additon to Perks at Work, the College is proud to offer a wide range of local discounts. If you are offered a discount locally because you are a member of College staff, why not ask the vendor to drop us an email so that we can publicise the offer on this page and other staff can benefit too.

In their email, vendors should provide the relevant website link and/or physical shop location, a short description of the vendor's products and the nature of the discount being made available, how to obtain the discount (e.g. code to enter online, showing College ID card at point of payment), and the end date of the discount (if applicable).
