Red Nose Day and the Big Smile

Report from Mr Day from Redbourne Upper School

In support of Comic Relief 2019 and The Big Smile:
Project Gambia, 51 pupils across years 9-11 took part in
a fundraising charity event. The challenge: to keep our
trampolines bouncing NON-STOP for 24 hours. All of
the girls rose to the challenge and persevered
throughout the night, even after having a sleepover at
school had lost its lustre!

Splitting the fundraising money equally between the
two charities, the raised funds will go towards
supporting vulnerable people and communities in the
UK and internationally. In fact, eleven of our pupils,
through Maulden Netball Club, will be travelling to
The Gambia later this year to deliver training and
resources. The girls are looking forward to the
experience, and seeing how their efforts can make a
difference to people's lives.
