WEST LEIGH JUNIOR SCHOOL
CHARITIES & FUNDRAISING
We encourage the children to learn about charitable giving with our termly fundraising events. We support charities such as Comic Relief and Children in Need, as well as a number of charities that are selected by the children through our school council. We think it is important to teach children about different charities and the work that they do, and to give the children some autonomy over the charities that they choose, reflecting their own interests and passions, in order to equip them with this knowledge for the future. We also support local charities through our Christmas gift and harvest collections. This early active engagement can make a life-long impact on how they understand and engage with charities and philanthropy more generally.
