- Ulverston, Cumbria, United Kingdom
- Funded on Thursday, 13th April 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Ulverston Victoria High School have qualified 2 girls teams and 2 individual boys to go to the World Schools Orienteering Championships in Sicily in 2017. It is going to cost each pupil in the region of £850 each to go as there is no funding from the school or the British Schools Orienteering Association.
Our full team is 12 pupils and two team managers.
This is an amazing experience for talented orienteers to represent their country at an amazing international event.
In 2015 the team came home with a Team Bronze Medal and an Individual Silver.
Please give whatever you can to support these great kids.

8 years agoHi Thanks to all our supporters. Your donations are gratefully received. It is quite an ask to raise the sums needed to get 14 young athletes and two (not so young) coaches to the event. Having said that, it is worth every penny in terms of their exposure to a World Class event. This can boost (or reinforce) their self-confidence and help them in the future. Thanks

8 years agoThanks for your support. We are getting there with the funding, but are still about £3000 shy of what we have to raise. Please spread the word amongst your friends, family, rich business owners, etc. There is an article about the UVHS team in the Evening Mail. You can see it here: http://www.nwemail.co.uk/sport/Ulverston-orienteers-ready-to-take-on-the-world-in-Sicily-81c10bca-2752-434d-bc61-fc07b2c7fc60-ds
