We have been asked to share this lovely message that has been sent from one of our lovely Year 7 pupils! As most of you are aware, every year we participate in the First Give initiative with our Year 7pupils in the hope that it ignites a spark of social conscience in young people.

First Give believes it offers young people the opportunity and platform to make a real, tangible difference to their communities through social action and in doing so gain all of the benefits that such work brings. Betsy in Year 7 has started her campaign off early by alerting all form tutors to her group's charity - Matt's Cafe. Pupils will soon see some posters around the school advertising the wonderful work Matt's Cafe does for the local community!
