The Friends of The Manor present £15,000 cheque

Andrew Tee and Rowan Knowles at the cheque presentation

For the past 12 months the Child Brain Injury Trust have been lucky enough to be the chosen charity of the year at the Manor Preparatory School in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The whole school has been involved in supporting the Charity by getting involved in all sorts of events. There has been a sponsored walk, a fabulous summer ball for the parents, and three members of the PE staff have just completed the 3 Peaks Challenge in well under 24 hours.

Our Community Fundraiser, Andrew Tee, was lucky enough to be invited to join the school for their special Leaver’s Assembly on Friday 5th July, where he was delighted to receive a cheque for £15,623.10 from The Friends of The Manor chairman Rowan Knowles. What a truly fantastic donation!

This figure represents the money raised by all of the events throughout the year. It would not have been possible though without the hard work and commitment of the school and The Friends of The Manor who have worked so brilliantly together to raise this fantastic sum.

Andrew was also privileged to be presented with a very special birthday card to mark the 21st birthday of the Child Brain Injury Trust. The card was designed by a year one pupil; she was there in person to present it on the day. Thank you Celeste for your fabulous card design (pictured left).

If you think this story is as fantastic as we do, why not suggest to your local school that they choose us as their charity of the year? It’s a fantastic way for children to learn about the importance of supporting charities and it is lots of fun too. If you’d like to talk about supporting the charity, please get in touch with our Community Fundraiser.
