A group of students in Year 10 at Queen Elizabeth Humanities College in Bromyard will be walking The South Downs Way from 15th August to raise funds for ACORNS in Worcester.

Students will arrive in Eastbourne on Friday 13th August and spend a day at the annual air show – “Airbourne” before setting off on the 110 mile walk to Winchester. About 15 students will be taking part in the walk being organised by two members of the Senior Leadership Team, David Kemp and Bonnie Griffiths.

David Kemp, party leader, said, “This is a very exciting trip. Having lived in Sussex for a number of years, I know the area very well and we will be taking other staff with us to share the walking. It is hoped that staff not walking will be the back up team each day to save having to carry all our equipment. The students are very keen to start their final year at the college with a big event to support others.”

Bonnie Griffiths said, “This follows a successful trip last summer when Mr. Kemp and I took a small group walking in the Peak District.  Hopefully though, the weather this year will be more suited to walking and we will not be soaked every day. We do hope lots of people and firms will sponsor us in our efforts for ACORNS.”

The event follows the music department’s support of ACORNS at Christmas which raised £1000 for the Children’s Hospice.
