Mencap’s Got Talent Charity

Mencap’s Got Talent is a long-standing tradition at Habs and one of the most enjoyable events of the year. Habs Girls and Habs Boys come together as a community to share in the fun, dress up in the Mencap colours of red and pink and provide some fantastic entertainment during the talent show.

Sienna (L6 JEP) said: “As well as giving incredibly talented people a chance to showcase their abilities and bringing the school together, Mencap’s Got Talent raises the awareness of the charity Mencap. It helps raise the funds necessary to put on the Mencap Funday attractions which is run by the two schools each June for children with learning disabilities.”

The talent show was held on Friday 24 March and, after months of preparation and hard work by the committee, the event ran smoothly and was a huge success! The Mencap committee would like to thank everyone who kindly helped with the event and they hope everyone enjoyed the event. Congratulations to Diya (L6 JHB) who won the show with a display of traditional Bollywood dance.

Since Friday 24 March, we can confirm that, between the Talent Show, donut sales and non-uniform day, the school community has raised £5,000! Well done to all involved.

If any students would like to volunteer for for the Funday on Sunday 25 June, or if you know anyone who has a child who would like to attend, they can emaill mencap@habsboys.org.uk for more details.
