MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Emanuel students are actively involved in charitable fundraising, which exemplifies their focus on looking beyond the school’s boundaries to help the lives of others in our community and beyond.

Each year, the Charity Committee, composed of students from all year groups, shortlists charities that they would like to support. In addition to a UK-based charity, we support our partnership schools in Tamil Nadu, India and Giant Strides, Emanuel’s fundraising campaign.

Our students plan, organise, and coordinate events to raise funds for the chosen charities, whilst always looking for creative ways to fundraise. In addition to raising funds, we support local community partners through student and parent- supported collections of much-needed items such as food, clothing and books.

One of the partners that we support is the Ace of Clubs, a day centre providing support for the homeless in our local community. We hold an annual sleepout in aid of the charity to raise funds and awareness in addition to support provided throughout the year with food and clothing donations and Christmas cards.
