Fundraising during Lent; The £5 challenge
Our whole school challenge relies on our Children & Young People using their enterprise skills in order to raise money during Lent. Each class receives £5 and as a team, decides on the best way to spend the £5 in order to make more money for Charity.
Some ideas that pupils have undertaken include;
- Guessing the name of the soft toy
- Cake sales
- Guess how many sweets are in the jar
- Raffle
- Fundraising games
We also collect tins of food, toiletries and clothes which the Children & Young People donate to the following charities:-
- Revive, an independent community project providing support, services and advocacy to refugees and those seeking asylum. http://www.revive-uk.org/
- Cornerstone, a day centre providing services to vulnerable and disadvantaged adults. http://cornerstonecds.org.uk/
Our young people in Post 16 also hold a charity event with many different fund raising activities.
