On Friday 15th December Head Teacher Carolyn Rooney and St Andrew’s Hospice signed a formal business partnership between the charity and the school.

The school will continue to encourage pupils to become involved in fundraising for the Hospice. This on the back of recent successful events such as a coffee morning, fun run and Christmas goodie sale.

Senior pupils will also be offered the chance of becoming Ambassadors where they will actively promote the work of the charity. Two pupils Emma Ewart and Rachel Daniels are both well on their way to becoming Silver Ambassadors.   For their part the Hospice have delivered talks to the pupils and will run a medical conference for interested senior pupils later in the academic year.

It is hoped that formalising the partnership will ensure that Braidhurst and St Andrew’s can work even more closely together in the future.
