Charity at The Beacon

The Beacon Community came together to support many charities. We thank everyone for their support.

Thank you to everyone who showed support for Comic Relief; we raised a fantastic total of £1,263.

The boys showed their support this year by wearing different and creative red items of clothing!

Following the tragic events in Syria and Turkey, our boys discussed ways that they, as a school community, could help. We held a ‘Non-Uniform Day’ so the boys could enjoy wearing their own choice of clothing with a donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee.

As a community, we raised a total of £6,518.

As part of the Festival of Words celebration, our LSC Team organised a book collection through the Ihezie Foundation; a charity that collects and donates books to UK primary schools, and also to schools across Africa.

In total, we collected over 100 boxes of books! Thank you to the whole Beacon Community for your book donations and to our boys who helped on the day.

Our boys were inspired by a chat from Duncan Dyason who works for the charity, Street Kids. Duncan lives in Guatemala City where he coordinates the work of the charity and works on the streets each week as a volunteer.

The mission of the charity is to rescue street-living children and prevent atrisk children from living on the streets anywhere in the world. The Street Kids outreach in Guatemala City is in partnership with other organisations and are working to get the number of street children from an estimated 5,000 to 0.

A very informative and eye-opening talk in Assembly.

A huge well done to Oliver W, Thomas S and Niam B who raised £500 for the Epilepsy Society by very kindly forgoing their birthday presents and asking for charity contributions instead.

Well done to our 5 members of staff who took on the Berkhamsted Rotary Club 5-Mile Fun Run. They raised a fantastic £1,870 for the charity of their choice, Prostate Cancer UK.
