Which charity should our school support?
Throughout the year, our school will be holding different fundraising events and it’s important that the children have a say in which charity we support. Have a chat with your child and talk about which sorts of charities they would like to support. Write the suggestions and we’ll vote for our chosen charity during our homework review.
You may want to focus on children’s charities. Or, you may have family or friends who work for or have been supported by a charity.
