Mary’s Meals Earthquake Relief Fundraiser
We wanted to say thank you for your contribution our school fundraiser. We made a plan to hold a fundraising event on Weds 8th March including basket-ball tournament, café, bake sale, bric-a-brac sale, games & craft activities, ukulele sing-along, non-uniform day, a raffle to be held on the day and a longer-running Easter raffle to be drawn on 27th March. We decided that funds would go to Mary’s Meals, a charity already working in Syria to feed children. Pupils in particular liked the idea that they were fundraising to help other children. Once the date and time were decided, we set about allocating tasks, asking for support and spreading the word around the community – posters, flyers, emails, word of mouth!
We had a fantastic day! As well as raising funds for the earthquake appeal, it was great to be able to have a community event in school again after so long. So good to see everyone; so good to have the primary and secondary pupils working together; but best of all, so good to see the children/young people enjoying themselves whilst raising funds for such a good cause.
Our ‘finale’ took place on 27th March when we drew the Easter raffle and presented a cheque to Mary’s Meals. In all, we raised £1070.00! It’s a fantastic sum and has only been possible due to the help and support of people like you!
THANK YOU!
