Charity Fundraising

Kirsten Sabine - Angels - visited year 8 and led this week's assembly for the year group. Angels is our local link charity. They support local families of children with ASD, ADHD and other neurodiverse conditions. Angels offer 1-2-1 support in person for children and their families in Stevenage and Letchworth. They also offer support online across the country, with more than 3,000 families subscribed to their services, which are completely free. They also have a series of podcasts - Neurodiversity chats - available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.  In the photo, our Year Reps and Form Reps hand Kirsten a cheque for £521, which helped 12 families in Stevenage through their 1-2-1 support programme. Year 8 will hold their next fundraiser before the Easter break! https://angelssupportgroup.org.uk/

We have a long established tradition of helping those in need, whether through the Family Fast Day economy lunch or through a vast array of fundraising activities for different causes throughout the year. Students use all their talent, humour, ingenuity and business acumen to raise lots of money and have a huge amount of fun, whilst at the same time reminding ourselves we are all part of a local, national and international community, often with genuine needs to be met.

Our charity fundraising efforts have supported many local, national and international causes over the year.  As a community, we understand just how privileged we are, and recognise the Gospel call to serve others.
