Ukraine - £3,000+ raised in a week

Thank you Harry B, Jacob and Alfie for your Ukraine refugee fund-raising idea. WE are so proud that you wanted to do something to help those less fortunate ...

After seeing events in the news, the boys wanted to do a charity fundraising walk and cake sale to raise money to help those in need.

The distance from Cambridge to the Ukrainian border was converted into miles and the whole school walked laps around the playing field to achieve the distance. Donations from parents, friends and families to the Just Giving page set up were overwhelming. 

A phenomenal amount of effort went into the cakes and bakes that arrived at school on Friday.

The final total was over £3,000. This money will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee - a group of several charities working together for the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis appeal.

A huge thank you to the whole school community for their generosity. Well done to the boys who came up with the idea. Your compassion and empathy is truly impressive.
