Staff and students from Hans Price Academy recently visited Somewhere To Go, a charity in Weston-super-Mare that provides vital day and night services 365 days a year.
The organisation supports rough sleepers and vulnerable adults in need, offering a warm, safe refuge, hot food, showers, clean clothing, and a listening ear.
During their visit, the academy representatives presented the charity with a cheque for £1,636.22, raised during a successful fireworks event. Staff and students worked together to run fundraising stalls at the event, further contributing to the generous donation.
Additionally, the academy delivered eight full boxes of warm clothing, kindly donated by the school community, to help those in need during the winter months.
The choice to support Somewhere To Go was determined by a student-led vote held the previous week, reflecting the academy’s focus on developing student engagement and empathy.
Sandra Cox, Academic Learning Mentor at Hans Price Academy, said: “We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for coming together to support such a vital cause.
“The funds and clothing donated will make a real difference to the lives of those in our community who need it most.”
