Sponsored walks for Teenage Cancer Trust

Over 100 Year 10 students joined together in June to walk 10 kilometres to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. The walk took them through the stunning scenery of Combs Valley and, despite wet conditions underfoot from the recent rain, the weather stayed fine, allowing students and staff the enjoy the challenge before returning to school for a well-deserved barbecue.

Chapel High has been supporting this wonderful charity for 27 years now. Mr Jones, Science Teacher, who organised the walk, said:

“This is a fantastic event and it’s good to see another group of teenagers taking up the challenge of fund raising for Teenage Cancer Trust. Last year, students raised over £2,400 for this fabulous charity.” 

Last week also saw the whole school taking part in a one-mile walk over the school fields to raise further funds. Students and staff walked in teams representing different countries of the world, dressing in flag colours, with some even taking along drums to help to motivate and encourage everyone to complete the task. There was a great atmosphere and it was brilliant to see the whole school get together for this fun event which raised over £700.

Teenage Cancer Trust works to improve the cancer experience of young people aged 13 to 24 in the UK. The money raised from our sponsored walks will go towards building and equipping dedicated units in the NHS hospitals.
