Christmas fun and fundraising at Blundell’s

Blundell’s pupils have spent time during the run-up to Christmas fundraising for charity and having fun at the same time.

The girls in Year 12 of Gorton House sold a record number of  1,400 candy canes, raising £740 for the Crisis At Christmas charity.

Pupils and staff buy the  canes to  wish their friends and colleagues a Happy Christmas and write a label with a message. In a real team effort, the GH girls then worked as a production line to tie the labels onto the canes, which were then given out to the lucky recipients.

In another fundraising initiative, pupils throughout the school put on their best Christmas jumpers and paid for the privilege to raise funds for the charity MIND and also, again, for Crisis at Christmas.
