Beccy Gibson who runs the fund-raising activity on Wednesdays  comments: “I was especially pleased that these two girls volunteered to do the doughnut sale a second time as they are no longer in the group but wanted to do more for this very deserving charity. Around £1300 has been raised now altogether.” The work of this charity does for a whole generation of African children orphaned because of the blight of HIV/AIDS can be seen on www.hopehiv.org

 

Earlier this term  West House held a cake sale as one of the fund-raising activity projects. Lucy Hollister adds: “They literally sold like hot cakes; we raised £45.25 in under ten minutes !” 

 

This Friday, 5th October, is the annual JEANS FOR GENES day and if enough pupils and staff take part, well over £1,2000 could be raised for charities which seek to find cures for genetic illnesses in children.
