Fundraising
Each year we dedicate a week to raise money for Children In Need or Red Nose Day by selling homemade cakes, dressing up, taking part in sponsored events and collecting donations from the children's parents and families. We also choose another charity every other year that is close to our heart to support by holding larger fundraising events. In previous years we have hired a bouncy castle to hold a sponsored bounce, organised a charity fashion show and come in dressed in our pyjamas!!
Below are details of some of our previous Fundraising efforts.

Fundraising Fete 2016:
This year we chose to support The Pickering Cancer Centre in Tunbridge Wells & Action for Children, as our two charities. We raised a fantastic amount of money and everyone had a great day out. What is better than a bouncy castle, scoop-a-duck, cakes, BBQ and soak the staff in the sunshine, and all for such good causes!!

Sri Lanka 2012:
In the summer of 2012, Freddie the Frog and Martha the Monkey took two weeks off from the Pre-school & Kindie rooms, to go with Emma & Alex to Sri Lanka to volunteer in a turtle sanctuary, and with local children, teaching them English. Through generous donations and fundraising we were able to bring equipment such as paper, pencils and books out to give to the children supported by the project.
The Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project aims to educate locals and visitors on the importance of protecting endangered species, as well as supporting the local community through education and promoting job opportunities for local women.
Our sponsored turtle tank even made it into a government article last year about the aftermath of the tsunami... click here to read it!!
