As you are no doubt aware, parts of the United States and great swathes of the Caribbean have been devastated by the recent swarm of hurricanes. One of our most important guiding principles is global responsibility and terrible situations like that which is currently unfolding for families across the Americas remind us that we must live by our principles.

To allow our children to empathise and develop a spirit of kinship with the thousands of displaced children, who will be sleeping crammed into school sports halls and community centres due to the catastrophic damage caused by the currently raging bad weather, we would like to organise a sponsored sleep-in to raise money for the Red Cross Hurricane Irma appeal.
