CHARITY COMES FIRST<br />

Page-13<br />

In the first seven weeks of term, The John Fisher School has already<br />

raised over £3,000 with many local charities benefitting.<br />

As we<br />

approach Christmas, there will be more work to be done to<br />

support the frail, vulnerable and homeless at this time. Please<br />

do support our initiatives where possible.<br />

Up next: British Legion Poppy appeal<br />

Next to the Sports Hall and<br />

Music Centre we now have<br />

a remembrance garden.<br />

Students, staff and alumni<br />

donated £1 to plant a<br />

Daffodil on behalf of friends<br />

and family who have battled<br />

cancer. This raised<br />

over £250.<br />

We held a Cake sale on our<br />

INSET day in September to<br />

help raise money for Macmillan<br />

cancer care. The staff<br />

brought in a range of baked<br />

goodies and helped raise<br />

over £230 for this great<br />

cause.<br />

We continue to support charities<br />

through our First Give,<br />

House Charity and regular donations.<br />

In November we will be<br />

collecting for the British Legion<br />

by selling Poppies.<br />

The South East Cancer<br />

centre operates in Purley,<br />

supporting the local people<br />

with Cancer. A small charity<br />

it may be, but it provides<br />

services for those who really<br />

need it and desperately<br />

needs support to continue<br />

this. We were able to give<br />

£500 from our mufti day.<br />

We have been contributing to<br />

Love in a Box for 8 years and<br />

we continue to play a big part<br />

in making Christmas a little bit<br />

better for children in orphanages<br />

all over Europe. This year<br />

we were able to help St. Pauls<br />

Church send 213 boxes with<br />

our boxes, unwanted goods<br />

and £500 from the mufti day.<br />
