We had an excellent evening at BHS last night, at which four teams gave very enthusiastic and informative presentations about the work of their chosen charities.

The following teams were awarded £750 each for the work of their charities:

Drop Inn Ministries – the team used videos of the work of the charity to great effect and talked very movingly about the work of the charity.

Hands of Hope – the team used their fundraising idea and their video of this to really great effect – it was clear how difficult it was to live on £5 a day!

Port St John – this team had a great use of football related humour, used audience participation and a showed a really good demonstration of the use of empathy.

The team going through to final, representing Global Action Nepal, gave a very well prepared and rehearsed presentation (despite some technical glitches!) about the importance of education and how their chosen charity helps to provide education in Nepal. They were also awarded £100 for the most funds raised at the BHS in-school competition – an impressive £300.

The teams between them raised over £800 to go towards the work of their chosen charities, in addition to the grants awarded. This was a great effort and I would like to congratulate everyone involved on this and also on the quality of the presentations given.

This leaves one place in the final, to be filled after the Ramsey Grammar School in-school competition tomorrow……results to be posted soon!
