On Friday 15th September, two of Badminton School’s recent Upper Sixth Leavers were proud to present local charity ‘Caring in Bristol’ with a cheque for £2,500. The money was raised at the school Summer Ball in July and will help keep their 365 shelter open for a month.
Caring in Bristol is a local charity working to deliver support to homeless and vulnerable people in Bristol, 365 days a year. Their projects include their 365 shelter which provides fifteen rough sleepers with a safe alternative to a night on the street, Bristol Nightstop which involves the recruitment of hosts for young and vulnerable people facing homelessness and Caring at Christmas where their 800 volunteers help to provide shelter, food and clothing for people in need over the festive period.
Rebecca Tear, Headmistress at Badminton School, commented: “We are very pleased to be able to make a difference for some of those in need in Bristol. At Badminton we support a wide range of charities both national and international, however it’s always great to work with one so close to home because for our students it has real meaning and context and helps them see the importance of undertaking such fundraising”.
