Autumn Fayre and Balloons of HOPE

On Saturday we once again joined together as a school community to raise money and enjoy the beautiful September sunshine. As ever there were loads of different activities to take part in, cakes to buy, prizes to be won and faces to be painted!

This year we were also seeking to raise money to support the excellent work of the Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity that makes a real difference to individuals and their families who suffer from this disease. As a school community we wanted to support their work and we therefore launched our 'Balloons of Hope' campaign.

Over the week prior to the Autumn Fayre school families donated to this fundraising by purchasing a balloon, this was further supported by our local church and the wider community on the day. During the day we slowly filled up our net of balloons and at the end of the Fayre these were released.



We are asking anyone who finds them to let us know their final destination and we will be creating a map of 'HOPE' based on this information.

This was a fantastic and quite emotional end to the Autumn Fayre for our school community.

Another fantastic day when the whole school joined together to make a difference!
