£11400 presented following Charities Week

We were visited today in assembly by representatives from the five charities benefiting from the generosity of St Clement Danes students and staff who raised a record-breaking £11400 during December's Charities Week.

Angela who attended with her daughter's assistance dog, Logan, told students that their money would be used to train another puppy at the charity Dogs for Good. Rob, from Maytree described the respite centre for those in suicidal crisis that the money would benefit, as well as the telephone helpline the funds will support. From the Hospice of St Francis, Lucy Hume described how the £2280 cheque she accepted would fund 4 morning shifts of nurses, each benefiting 14 patients. Michelle Henderson described the local support groups run by Parkinson's UK which the money would help support, before Janet Roberts, from the local support group, described some of the activities which help her to retain her mobility. Finally, Susie Turnbull spoke about the work of Kisima mixed secondary school in Kenya and showed the students a photograph of the empty library their donations would help to fill with books.

All the representatives expressed their thanks to the student body for the phenomenal amount of money which had been raised and Miss Brogan ended by thanking the Charities Prefects who had worked so hard to put on the week's events.

Charities Week 2025

The halls of 快猫视频 have been buzzing with holiday cheer this week as the annual Charities Week is officially in full swing. As the Autumn Term draws to a close, pupils and staff have united to raise vital funds for three incredible causes: Endometriosis UK, Spread a Smile, and Herts Young 快猫视频less. The school is alive with the spirit of giving, driven by a jam packed ‘Advent’ schedule designed to get everyone involved in the fundraising efforts. This year’s itinerary has been filled with exciting activities, ranging from pupil led lessons and a "Mystery Bucket" challenge to the competitive excitement of the "Elf Auction" and various competitions. Pupils have also enjoyed the classic "Sponge the Teacher" event and a visit to Santa’s Grotto, ensuring the festive atmosphere is matched only by the community’s generosity. Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care 快猫视频. The residents were treated to a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, featuring performances by members of the Chamber Choir, Evensong Choir, and the Barbershop Choir. Year 12 pupils Immy and Chrissie noted that "it was a very joyful occasion and it was lovely to see the residents joining in and looking so happy." The success of such a busy week relies heavily on pupil leadership, and the school extends a massive vote of thanks to Year 13 for their incredible hard work and dedication. Their enthusiasm have been the driving force behind this week's fundraising efforts. The week is set to conclude on Friday with the Grand Finale: the highly anticipated Sixth Form Revue, promising a spectacular end to a week of community, charity and celebration.
