Pupils at Duke’s Secondary School recently held a fundraising day to raise money for the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

Staff and pupils got really creative with their fundraising ideas! We had a nail bar where staff could have their nails painted, this raised £100. We had cakes on sale the kitchen had kindly made and staff sponsored the sales to raise extra funds. Students and staff were encouraged to wear yellow and blue and thanks to a last minute donation of £45, we have managed to raise a grand total of £1,000!

It was a truly inclusive day with staff and students encouraged to write messages of support or prayers onto paper doves. These doves will be on display in the Atrium for everyone to see and there were lots of heartwarming and thoughtful messages written. All money will go to the DEC appeal which will provide valuable support to the organisations which are helping the people of Ukraine. A huge thank you to everyone involved!
