CHARITY COMMITTEE

What is the overarching aim of your committee?

We aim to reach out to more local charities, contributing to them and the community We hope to raise awareness about current issues and how we as a school can support those organisations who strive to make a difference. We all believe that giving to charity is highly important because we feel close to the charities we have chosen and we also strongly believe that we should help to support people affected by these circumstances

What have been your priorities this year and how have you gone about them?

Our main priority this year was to raise awareness about how to support charities through the organisation of events We also hope to raise money for local charities. We have organised a bake sale to raise money in aid of Alzheimer’s We also helped out with a Second Form bake sale, and joined the foundation committee to organise contributions for Stripey Stork As the charity committee, we also helped with the organisation of Loveworks donations which were brought to the school We will also be collaborating with the academic committee in the Autumn term, where we will be helping them run their fair

What is your vision for the next academic year?

In the next academic year, our committee aims to create more opportunities to raise money for a multitude of charities; we would like to expand upon the current range of charities we support

What can students across the school do to help and support?

Students across the school can participate in charity fundraising activities and help support any events that take place: this will include taking part in bake sales or volunteering to help run these events
