WE Org Visitor - working with Funding Raising Group

This morning we had Tracy Lomanga, who is a Speaker and Facilitator from the WE Schools Organisation. Members of our Fundraising Community Partnership Group spent part of this morning with Tracy discussing ideas for the next fundraising event here at school. After brainstorming various ideas the children needed to close their eyes, listen to the suggestions and vote for the idea which they felt was the most worthy.


WE Schools is a unique, four-step program—delivered in more than 14,500 schools across the UK and North America—that challenges young people to identify the local and global issues that spark their passion and then empowers them with the tools to take action.
The WE Schools program provides teachers and students with curriculum-matched lesson plans, educational resources and a full calendar of action campaign ideas. Through WE Schools, students gain an understanding of the root causes of pressing issues like hunger, poverty and poor access to education, and explore what they can do to help. They also plan at least one local and one global action to improve their community and the world.
