Abbie’s Amazing Fundraising Achievement

In November, Year 13 student Abbie Tweedle, donated 15 inches of her hair for
both The Little Princess Trust and Cancer Research UK after seeing first-hand the

devastating impacts that both cancer and hair loss can
have on individuals and their families. “I had been
growing my hair for over 2 years with the hope of
creating a natural long wig for a child undergoing
chemotherapy or following hair loss caused by other
conditions. It meant a lot to me to see all my wonderful
friends and family showing their support by donating to
this amazing charity and so far, I have managed to raise
over £700 for Cancer Research so they can continue
with the essential work that they do in finding a cure for
cancer.” said Abbie.

Fantastic Fundraising from
Year 7 Students

On Wednesday, 7 November Year 7 students Paige Thonner,
Lucy Collins and Sumer Moore held a cake sale to raise funds for
the Dame Hannah Rogers Trust.
this event was the brainchild of Paige thonner, who, following on
from an assembly given by Mr Jason Ryder, head teacher from
Dame hannah Rogers School in Ivybridge, as part of Mental

health Awareness Week; decided that she would
like to raise money for this charity to help his
students, by organising a cake sale.
together with friends Sumer Moore and
lucy Collins, the girls put their suggestion to their
head of Year 7, Mr tom Brown, who thoroughly
supported their thoughtful endeavour.
Paige and her mum designed posters to advertise the cake sale, and the day
before the event, Paige’s mum and nan made rocky roads, brownies, cupcakes, crispy cakes,
carrot cake and flapjacks, while lucy made cupcakes and a cake.
Paige, lucy and Sumer all manned the cake stall on the day, and with the goodies priced at
50p each, raised an amazing £138.00.
this was a fantastic achievement, well done and thank you to everyone involved.
