DURHAM High School for Girls are in a fundraising frenzy with two year groups taking on separate challenges in aid of St Cuthbert’s Hospice.
Year 12 students will take on a School Accumulator Challenge worthy of Lord Sugar and the candidates of The Apprentice. The students will use their team work, entrepreneurial skills and budget management expertise to turn £50 into as much profit as possible in a ten week time frame. They will create and run a small business to enable them to increase their turnover, all for a good cause.
Junior School students will step into Christmas and take part in a festive Santa Fun Run during PE lessons in the run up to the Christmas holidays. Each pupil taking part will be sponsored for the fun run and they will receive a certificate to mark their achievement in undertaking the fun challenge.
Jade McArdle, Community Fundraiser at St Cuthbert’s Hospice said: “We’re delighted to have two year groups take part in two different fundraising challenges for us. Durham High School for Girls have been great supporters of ours for a long time. These challenges are fun ways for the students to raise money for the Hospice. We offer a wide range of facilities to people in the local community, including a Children’s Bereavement Service to support children who are coping with bereavement. The money raised by the School will directly benefit local children and their families.”
