Fundraising success 2007

Of course, no Christmas newsletter would be complete without me giving you details of our Advent Fundraising. This year I am delighted to tell you that we have raised in excess of £3,000 and worked closely with Sister Ann O'Connor in Kenya, supporting her work in schools and with children who have HIV/AIDS. Our commitment to this project is long term because, as a community, we undertook to see a number of students through their secondary education, which has to be paid for in Kenya, and obviously this requires annual funding. This year the Student Forum also elected to support Demelza House which is a hospice offering care for children and young people who suffer from chronic or life shortening conditions as well as respite care for families.

The original Demelza House is in Sittingbourne but there is huge need for such care in other areas and so a site has been bought in Eltham. Our aim was to raise as much as possible for the new institution as well as raising awareness within our community about the need for huge growth in the hospice movement. Most of us will have contact with the hospice movement at sometime in our lives and we very much hope that our school will maintain contact with Demelza House, and continue to support this project in any way we can.
