Year 11 pupils in the Girls’ Division of Bolton School have raised £254.20 for the charity Wipe Your Tears.
Form groups created themed hampers with each class bringing in items of a particular colour for their hamper. The girls then sold entry forms for a prize draw to pupils and staff in the school and entrants had to correctly answer a question about the most popular colour amongst Girls’ Division teaching staff. Six winners were drawn during an assembly, with each winner taking away a different coloured hamper.
Wipe Your Tears children’s charity was started in 2004 in the North-West of England. It is committed to assisting in the care and financial support of seriously and terminally ill children and their loved ones. They also offer support to children who are victims of domestic violence. Through fundraising and events, they aim to brighten the lives of these children and offer support to their families during difficult times.
