Mary’s Meals Fundraising Roundup

It has been another amazing year of fundraising for Mary’s Meals. We not only met our target of raising £8,841 to provide food for the six hundred and thirty-six children at Makalanga School but exceeded it, topping £11,680 through events such as World Porridge Day and, above all, the 24 and 40 mile sponsored walks.

In addition, for the forthcoming academic year we have already raised…. £2,325.17

For pupils coming into Sixth Form this September and those moving into the Upper Sixth Form, dates are already in place for next year’s sponsored walks. The 24/7 will take place on Sunday 10 March 2019. For those who want to attempt the 40 mile challenge we have a limited number of places (twenty-four) available for committed pupils and staff to take part in the official Coventry Way Association Event. The event will take place on Sunday 7 April 2019 and will be the twenty-first annual CWA walk, a circular forty mile route with the start/finish point being in Meriden.

A massive thank you for the tremendous support over the years which has helped Princethorpe become the leading fundraiser for Mary’s Meals among UK schools.  Thank you too to all those that helped on the day of the walk this year, we will, of course, be looking for helpers again next year for the 24/7.
