Students in Plymouth smash charity's £20 challenge
An education centre in Plymouth has taken part in an exciting challenge for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) - developing their entrepreneurial skills and at the same time raising money for a brilliant cause!
A group of Learners at ‘Eat That Frog’ in Mutley were given £20 each and challenged with coming up with ways of using this to raise funds for the charity.
They bought ingredients and materials and got baking and making! They ran a tuck shop, made bracelets, sold homemade dog treats, treated staff to breakfast baps... just some of the inspiring ways they worked together to make money! Together they raised almost £400 for the charity!
CHSW has 3 hospices across the South West, and currently supports more than 500 families with a child with a life-limiting condition. There are currently more than 50 families from the Plymouth area supported by the charity.
Annabel Roberts, Area Fundraiser for CHSW, said: “These learners have done an incredible job! And the staff who have supported this challenge have also been brilliant!”
We are so grateful for every penny raised, it makes a world of difference for the children, young people and their families who use our services.
