We are delighted to announce that our school charity for the year is Edirisa UK, a charity working in South West Uganda to deliver life-changing health, education and social projects.
Girls right across the school have enjoyed a special assembly given by Mrs Sheila Windridge, founder of Edirisa UK, who told the girls all about the charity’s amazing work out in Uganda where they have built nursery schools, renovated and support primary schools, support special needs education and so much more. The girls were surprised to see the way the children travel to school via canoe and to hear that they don’t have electricity or running water. Find out more about Edirisa UK by visiting their website: https://www.edirisa.org.uk/
The girls are looking forward to being able to raise funds for Edirisa UK over the coming year. We will continue to run our usual fundraising events to support other causes, including the harvest festival, Comic Relief, Children in Need, Christmas Shoe Box Appeal and the Poppy Appeal.
