School fundraising success for ‘Charities of the Year’

Every year at Hymers our pupils help select charities that we will fundraise for throughout the school year through events and activities that our pupil body support. This includes activities such as bake sales and nonuniform or jolly jumper days. Our School Charities of the Year for 2021-22 were Abbie’s Fund (which provides memory boxes for the Maternity Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary’s Women and Children’s

Hospital, to give to parents who have lost babies) and Hull Sisters (an organisation providing specialist support, services and safe spaces for black and minority women and children in Hull and the East Riding).

We invited these charities into our Senior School assembly at the end of term and presented them with the proceeds from our fundraising efforts over the year. Thank you to everyone who has contributed towards our fundraising efforts.
