The money was raised at our Christmas Fayre during the last week of term. Shaan and Evie were the inspiration and driving force behind our first ever Christmas Charity Fayre. Speaking on behalf of Freddie’s Wish, Tony commented: “I’m absolutely thrilled to receive this donation from the students at NGHS. Freddie’s Wish helps parents who have lost a child of any age, with support at the earliest stages and throughout the ongoing effects of bereavement. I’ve been involved with them for several years and this money will help massively in the fantastic work they do. Thank you so much!”

Shaan and Evie were delighted to present the cheque to Tony and the other half of the money raised at the Christmas Fayre will go to another incredible charity called Team Kenya. This is a charity that aims to empower entire communities to champion gender equality, ensuring that girls in rural Kenya can forge their own paths toward bright and promising futures.

Following the donation Evie expressed her sincere thanks to everyone involved in the Christmas Fayre. She declared: “When we first approached Mr Jones (headteacher), with the idea for a Charity Christmas Fayre we had no idea how successful it would be! So may students ran stalls, helped with organisation, cooked food, created gifts and attended that we were literally blown away by the generosity and good will shown. Next year we are aiming to make it even bigger and better and hit the magic £1000 mark – I’m sure we will!”
