First Give Programme

Our Year 8 students demonstrated exceptional commitment, compassion and community spirit through their participation in the First Give programme.

First Give is a social action programme that encourages young people to engage with local charities, develop an understanding of community needs and take action to support causes they care about. As part of the programme, students researched local charities and organised fundraising activities before planning and delivering persuasive presentations advocating for their chosen organisations.

Following a highly competitive final between the Year 8 tutor groups, congratulations go to 8F, represented by Alex and Tristan, who were named overall winners. As a result, they were awarded a £1,000 grant for their chosen charity, the Anthony Seddon Fund, helping to support the vital work they carry out in the local community.

Special recognition must also go to two highly commended groups - 8A impressed the judges with their support for Reuben’s Retreat, while 8D were recognised for their outstanding work on behalf of Emmaus Mossley.

All groups delivered excellent presentations and demonstrated a genuine commitment to raising awareness and support for their chosen charities. We are incredibly proud of all students who took part.
