As a school, we are committed to supporting two different charities who work with children who live in difficult circumstances. 

Firstly is East to West; a charity who brings hope and joy to children in Richmond, Surrey and Berkshire. Their particular focus is in working alongside young people who struggle with their mental health and wellbeing. The children's council discussed a variety of charities at the start of the year and decided to continue supporting East to West, creating a long term link which we hope to see flourish. We were delighted to welcome a member of staff from the charity in the autumn term who shared more about this important work with our school community.

Secondly is HopeHealthAction, who provide life-saving health and disability care for the world’s most vulnerable. The link was created through our connections with St Johns Church, who shared with the children their enthusiasm and personal experiences of this vital work. 

We look forward to sharing in a number of events this year to raise money and awareness for these charities.
