Pupils at Woodhall Primary School, in Sudbury, completed a week’s running challenge, raising funds for both the school and The Kernos Centre. The children ran laps around the school fields, keeping in their ‘bubbles’ and were sponsored by their parents. In total they raised £6,000, which they divided between the school and us, generously donating 50%, £3,000 to Kernos.
Deputy head teacher Helen Arbon said. “As a school, we’re incredibly proud of the children and the wider school community for their perseverance and their generosity. Our school is a very special place.”
Chris Boatwright, director of counselling at The Kernos Centre, said, “I would like to say a huge thank you to Woodhall Primary School, to the children and to their parents.
“This wonderful amount raised will provide 100 individual counselling sessions to children and young people in our area. I hope the children at Woodhall are very proud of their achievement, and the difference it will make, improving children’s well-being.
“This news is so welcome at a time like this, when it is so difficult to raise funding. Thank you to everyone involved at Woodhall for this support.”
