Bower Park School - Charity Walk


Cllr Mann was on hand at Bower Park School last week to start the Year 7 children off on a sponsored walk, from the School to Hainault Forest and back again. Over 150 children and staff took part in the day long event to raise money for local charities.

Each Form class chose which charity they wanted to donate to, with St Francis Hospice coming out on top for a lot of the children; hopefully hundreds of pounds will have been raised for lots of local charities and good causes.

Cllr Mann was unable to join the children for the day, but gave them all some words of encouragement and started them off on the 10 mile round trip. He said “Another great day for Bower Park, with the children walking in the searing sun to raise money for local charities and not one of them complaining, well not much anyway”.
