We put the FUN in Fundraising
29 May 2023
For Lent we took on the challenge of raising money for lots of different charities to help those in need. We managed to raise almost £2000 for the following charities; Nugent Care, CAFOD, Mission Together and the Syria and Turkey earthquake appeal (via CAFOD).
We did lots of different challenges within each class and events and competitions as a whole school to help raise the money. We thank all our pupils and parents for their generous donations and contributions. We hope you find inspiration from the challenges we did and fundraising events organised!
