Children in Need Fundraising

Courtney Pudney, 13J

To support Children in Need on 15 November, we decided to coordinate a week of fundraising with particular efforts on Friday. Our Head Students and Senior Prefects went around during form times and lunch times selling merchandise such as Pudsey badges and headbands, in addition to ticketsfor a raffle which took place on the Friday.

As a result of our posters and letters promoting events and merch, we saw a continuous increase in money raised, and people wearing their Pudsey merch throughout the week.

As Friday approached, planning continued and anticipation for our bake sale and raffle heightened. Friday itself was an outstanding success as students enthusiastically gathered to purchase bake sale goods, last minute raffle tickets and await the results of who was to win the ultimate raffle prize- a large Pudsey bear. Winner Fraser Stafford-Parish, 7E.

Overall, we are very proud of the outcome, which was a total of £598.55 raised for Children in Need! Thank you to everyone who participated or helped.
