STUDENTS from Kidderminster College have been getting into the Hallowe'en spirit by decorating one of the town's pubs with spooky accessories.

A group of teenagers from the college's Entry to Employment - E2E - course, spent 12 hours last week getting The Red Man, in Blackwell Street, ready for next Monday.

The 26-week course prepares students for work and more than 70 enrolled on it this year.

Projects are run throughout the year to help develop the students' confidence and teambuilding skills.

The students organised every aspect of the Hallowe'en project, including producing a budget and buying the decorations.

Course leader, Nigel Stooke, said the students had enjoyed the decoration project, adding: "The Red Man has always been very supportive of our students and found them work experience. The students were encouraged to take control of the project and they had a free rein with what they wanted to do.

"I think it is getting out of college and actually being in a work environment they like and the praise they get from people as well, " he added.

Past projects include raising money for Children in Need and Macmillan Cancer Relief as well as working at Kidderminster Harriers and the cricket club.
