Pupils attend a Charity Dinner at Pennyhill Park

During November 3 past pupils, Stephanie Powter, Lara Hutt and Melissa Bergquist were invited to attend a ‘thank you’ dinner by the Children with Special Needs Foundation.
As part of their Young Enterprise scheme they had raised £1400 for the charity.  They had held a fashion show, baked and sold cakes, sold chocolate covered strawberries and helped run the Christmas fair. 

The Charity which is based locally in Chobham provides extra support for all children who have special disabilities and their money was very gratefully received.

The dinner was fantastic.  Pennyhill park is an amazing Hotel and Spa and we arrived to a champagne reception.  The host for the evening was Eagle radios morning presenter Peter Gordon and the girls enjoyed a photo with Radio 2’s morning presenter Chris Evans.

During the evening we heard from a parent whose son had benefited from special equipment for her severely Autistic son. We also heard from some very disabled children who were given the trip of a life time to Florida. It made it raising the money real and put our lives into perspective.
