When we started as charity prefects in May 2021 we were able to pick the three main charities we wanted to support in our turn as prefects. We chose a local charity, Reading Education Centre, an international charity, Sakhi and an animal charity, SAFE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to this we, as a school, have regular charities that we support every year such as Macmillan and Jeans for Genes as well as occasional donations to charities to causes that were incredibly prevalent at the time. As a school community we have been incredibly successful in fundraising for charitable causes and we wish to celebrate our success as a community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the first events we arranged was a dress down day for the entire Senior School in aid of the British Asian trust which is an organisation that helped supply hospitals in India with oxygen tanks for patients in desperate need. Alongside this, with the charity reps in Lower IV and Upper IV we were able to arrange two successful bake sales, in their bubbled year groups that also raised money for this cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
