Hayling College Girls Fundraising

Year 8 girls fundraise for British Heart Foundation and spread a little love at the same time!!

Hayling College Fundraising EventBetween Friday 6th - 13th February, four wonderful Year 8 girls, Sonet Strachan, Willow Travers Ayre, Scarlet Dymock and Elena Barter, worked incredibly hard in various ways to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. Sonet and Willow said "We heard about our friends, family and those of our teachers, having heart problems and we wanted to raise awareness. We set up a stall, selling cakes and valentines for a week. We supported the National 'Wear it, Beat it' event on February 6th by asking pupils to donate money for wearing something red to school. We had discussed it all with our Headteacher, Mr Rainford, who agreed to what we wanted to do. As a result of this we raised £418.49. We are proud of our accomplishments and will be doing it again next year."

The modest girls fail to mention that they personally baked the cakes and cookies each evening to sell the following day, and gave up every break and lunchtime for that week to man the stall. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and also thank the pupils and staff of The Hayling College for their kind donations. Helen Cox
