Students and staff at Ely College raised more than £5,000 during their annual ‘Charities Day’ event in December.
The event took place on the last day of term (December 16) and the school’s chosen charities for 2022 were Spectrum, C9 Cancer Trust, Arthur Rank Hospice, Ely Foodbank, EAAA and Save the Children.
A spokesperson said: “Thanks to our amazing staff and students and your generosity at home for donating so much more than the recommended £5, Ely College and Bishop Laney’s ‘Charities Day’ raised an exceptional total of £5671,04.
“This is the biggest total ever and we are so pleased we can split the ‘extra’ donations equally over five chosen House Charities as well as Save the Children UK for their Christmas Jumper Day.
“It was truly such a fantastic way to sign off an overall brilliant year.”
Congratulations goes to Turing House for having the most engaging activities and collecting the most vouchers.
