We are running a threefold fundraising campaign:
- to raise money for Get Kids Going! charity
- to raise funds for GST’s central Sports and Arts Fund
- to raise money for charities within the local communities of our schools.
Our key fundraising periods this year are:
8th February - Founders Day
As always on this day, the focus is on community. Schools will be running a number of charity events throughout the day, the money raised will be split between local charities of the school’s choice and Get Kids Going!
28th April - Marathon
Angela Sandow, Head of Saxon Way, will be running the Virgin London Marathon on behalf of the Trust. All money raised will go towards Get Kids Going!
April/May - Challenge 26
Inspired by the 26.2 miles of the marathon, schools will be taking part in Challenge 26. Students will set themselves a sporting challenge involving the number 26. Examples of previous challenges include rowing 26 miles, doing 26 star jumps each day for 26 days, running a 26 mile relay, etc. The challenges can be completed by individuals or in groups. All sponsorship money raised will be added to the central Sports and Arts Fund.
Get Kids Going! is a national charity which gives disabled children and young people - up to the age of 26 yrs - the wonderful opportunity of participating in sport.
