MacMillan Cancer Coffee Morning
Charities Team 2019-2020
Our Charities Team work closely with Mrs Cross (Deputy Head Teacher) to plan events in school which raise money and support charities.
We work closely with WE Schools who run a programme to help schools support charities on a local, national and international basis.
Last year we raised money for the following charities: Stanhope Silver Band, MacMillan Cancer, Children In Need, Water Aid and Starlight Children’s Charity.
This year the team are already planning some spectacular events!
Raising Money for Save The Children-Friday 13th December 2019 was the national Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save the Children. As always our school did us proud and we are delighted to have raised £75.05 for this worthwhile national charity.
Many thanks to everyone who supported this event.
Our chosen local charity – The Butterwick Hospice- Earlier this year our Charities Team decided to raise money for The Butterwick Hospice as our chosen local charity. The children worked with Butterwick to design and run The Rudolph Run. Last week every child in our school took part in The Rudolph Run which involved decorating a Rudolph mask, running ten laps of the yard and taking home some magic reindeer food (environmentally friendly – of course).
The event raised £223.00 and today (Friday 13th December 2019) Helen from the hospice attended our celebration assembly where the Charities Team presented her with a cheque for the total amount.
Helen was over the moon and told the children how their money would be spent in supporting others.
Thank you to everyone who took part and sponsored this event!

Our Charities Team take a lead on deciding which charities our school will support in any given year. Once the charities are identified, the team are responsible for fund raising and organising events. So far this year they have supported:
MacMillan Cancer Coffee Morning raising £330.60
Children in Need raising £171
Remembrance Poppy Appeal – £155.57
NSPCC Christmas Jumper Day raising £90
Once money is collected in at the school office, the Charities Team are responsible for counting it and recording the amount raised. They are also responsible for writing letters of thanks to businesses and organisations who donate anything to the school.
They are in charge of marketing and raising awareness of events through designing posters, drafting letters and text messages.
