I am very proud to share these pictures of our pupils volunteering with members of the Sikh community who participated in a charity event on the weekend. The Sikh Toy Appeal aims to raise awareness and gift children during the festive period. There will be a number of children who may not receive a gift this Christmas which is the focus of the appeal.
The appeal recieved very many contributions over the weekend surpassed expectations and lots of children will receive a gift this Christmas. Both Anand (in the suit) and Arvinder were available to help (keeping Covid safe and adhered to all safety precautions put in place) raise money and enduring the challenge of wearing the lion mask in the spirit of the appeal. Impressive dedication and tenacity! Jamie Carragher (ex Liverpool FC) is a supporter of the charity and aparently liked a picture of our appeal effort in Southampton on Instagram.
Apparently, the boys will again be helping next weekend with the aim of feeding over 100 people. The purpose of which is to promote giving during this time of year. Well done to them and the whole Sikh community for their good work supporting those in need.
This is amazing! Well done boys :)
