Lucy Cavendish AAP on My Cambridge Application

I have participated in the Lucy Cavendish Academic Attainment Programme and would like to talk about what I learnt through this on my optional personal statement on the My Cambridge Application. Would this put me at a disadvantage because I am not actually applying to Lucy Cavendish, but Downing instead?

Not at all, it would be an absolutely excellent thing to talk about (assuming it's relevant - I'm not personally familiar with the programme).
