8ZS raise charity funds

Support for Helen and Douglas house

Zoë Simms’s tutor group have been busy raising money in support of Helen and Douglas house across the last year, and the charitable activities continued this week with a bake sale that raised £37.50.

In total over £800 has been rasied for the charity through their various fundraising activities!

Throughout lockdown, the entire tutor group took part in the 2.6 challenge, pledging to take part in various activities related to 2.6 or 26 to fundraise for their chosen charity. These included growing 26 sunflowers, making a 26 ingredient pizza and riding a horse for 2.6 kilometres for each day of the challenge.

Alison Hooker from Helen and Douglas house said "The support we provided to families with terminally ill children during lockdown was a lifeline for some, and without wonderful supporters like Sibford School this would not be possible so a massive thank you to Zoë and her tutor group for raising money for our charity."

Zoë has even signed herself up to do a parachute jump, that is due to take place in March 2021. The tutor group are going to continue their fundraising efforts and have set a final goal of £1800.
