Two New Charities For 2024

Published by Blackheath Prep on Saturday 24th of February 2024

We're delighted to be supporting two new charities at Blackheath Prep this year, as voted for by our pupils - The Flying Seagull Project and Greenwich Wildlife Network, both charities representing many of our school values of kindness, community, courage and joy.

The Flying Seagull Project's brilliant team of entertainers, musicians and clowns bring fun, laughter and joy to children living in challenging, and often traumatic circumstances in the UK and abroad, including refugee camps, asylum centres, hospices and special education centres.

The Greenwich Wildlife Network is a local charity, run by a team of dedicated volunteers who rescue and care for injured or orphaned urban wildlife. Providing round the clock care, they nurture the animals and birds in their care back to an eventual return to the wild.

Over the year ahead, our pupils will learn more about the charities' work in assemblies and the classroom, take part in fundraising activities, make donations, organise cake bakes and volunteer at table sales.
