There have been numerous charity events that our pupils, parents and staff have supported so generously throughout the school year, including Macmillan Cancer Research, North Devon Foodbank, Red Nose Day, Children in Need, Devon Hospice and Edukid. The first fundraiser of the year was the Macmillan Coffee Morning. It’s been quite a while since we ran one of these so it was a more low key event this year due to Covid restrictions still being in place. Despite not being able to welcome the wider Shebbear College community to join us, it was nice to see so many donations of cakes for the pupils to enjoy and we raised £307.17. The Chaplain led a collection for a local food bank as part of the Harvest Festival this year. We were very impressed with the amount of food and other items donated, which totalled 30 bags full! These were taken to the Bideford food bank. Our school Librarian, Mrs Fanet, ran the Readathon event in October. She was very impressed with the enthusiasm of those that got involved and there were some big amounts raised by individuals - all for reading books! The total money raised for this worthwhile charity was £511.80.
