Support Ella’s Scoliosis Charity Challenge!

Although her February marathon challenge has now finished, you can STILL donate — and every penny makes a huge difference.

Ella R in Year 9 has recently been diagnosed with severe scoliosis (around 70 degrees) and is awaiting surgery this year. Despite this, she’s been determined to raise awareness and vital funds for the charity supporting her. Her strength and positivity have been truly inspiring.

Ella set herself the challenge of completing a month‑long fundraiser throughout February — and the response has already been incredible. She set a target of £200 and has already reached £312!

If you’re able to, please consider supporting her JustGiving page:

To help boost her total even further, we’re also running additional fundraising activities:

Charity Shop Donations Needed!
Students from Ella’s form are helping create a mini charity shop in BF03, and we’re asking for donations of:

• Unwanted Christmas gifts
• Christmas jumpers / clothing
• Gift sets
• New or nearly-new toys
• Nearly new clothes (washed, and ironed if possible)

Once we have enough items, we’ll hold a charity sale with all proceeds going to Ella’s fundraiser.

Any support — a donation, a share, or a small item for the shop — means the world. Let’s help Ella raise both awareness and funds for a cause that’s personally close to her heart.
