ºìÐÓÊÓƵ

This year pupils at ºìÐÓÊÓƵ in Bletchingley have been actively fundraising for the international charity WE. WE was created by children, for children, to fight the root causes of poverty through projects at home and abroad.

It is estimated that more than 663 million people live without access to safe drinking water, while at least 2.4 billion still lack access to adequate sanitation facilities. On Friday 27th April children from the ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’ Nurseries and Pre-Prep, along with their older school “siblings” in Years 7 and 8, completed a sponsored walk around the school grounds to raise money for the WE Villages initiative which supports water provision in India, Africa and South America.

Having set an initial fundraising target of £750 which would have provided water to over 50 people, the children raised an incredible total of £2400! A fantastic achievement for the dedicated pupils who worked tirelessly to promote this hugely successful event.
