31 Mar School help
The Freddie Farmer Foundation in Bromley is £4,704.55 better off thanks to a 13-year-old student from St. Olave’s Grammar School who nominated the charity to benefit from the school’s annual Festival and Cabaret.
The Form 8B student from the school on Goddington Lane, Orpington, Bromley nominated the charity at school assembly where pupils got to vote to support their favourite local cause.
The annual school festival and cabaret supports a local and a national or international charity every year and this time the students raised over £9,400 for the Freddie Farmer Foundation in Bromley and DEC Ebola Crisis.
Students raised the funds through various Festival events including a non-uniform day, stalls, game show events, and a Sixth Form musical Cabaret on stage in the Great Hall.
Charity officer Karen Smith said: “We’re over the moon and we can’t thank the school enough. We received the funds last week, we’ll use it to purchase adapted equipment needed for the children receiving physiotherapy for cerebral palsy and mobility problems at our centre.
Over 1000 students took part to raise the funds.
