Help for Heroes at RGSAO
19 June 2009
RGS Worcester & The Alice Ottley School enjoyed a heroic day of charity fundraising today (June 19) as the school supported Help for Heroes.
With every pupil and member of staff playing their part, the school had already raised £500 by the end of break – an amount that will significantly help the wounded from our Armed Forces in current combat.
Through a range of activities - many led by the pupils – during the break and lunchtime, the amount collected was in excess of £1,500 at 2pm and is continuing to grow with more events and raffles happening into the afternoon and weekend.
RGSAO activities included Gun Running with the CCF Navy Section, Assault Courses, Soak the Teacher, Apple Bobbing, raffles, stalls and much, much more.
Special guests Peter Elcock, Help for Heroes, Volunteer Group Co-ordinator for Worcestershire, and Ian Baldry, Help for Heroes County Co-ordinator for Worcestershire could also be found enjoying the special day on the Worcester site.
“The whole school was unified today in support of a fantastic national charity,” commented Andy Rattue, Headmaster of RGS Worcester & The Alice Ottley School.
“The amount raised so far is unbelievable and a real testament to the pupils’ giving and support to worthy causes.”
