Story
Cast your minds back to 24 months ago. COVID struck and with that students lives including their education and wellbeing took a different daily view. This has undoubtedly been a challenging time for everyone
In a recent assembly 75 out of 75 hands were raised to signal that they or someone close to them had been affected by mental health throughout the last 24 months.
Therefore to recognise the last 24 months and celebrate
their own survival of their personal journey, the Post 16 students are dancing for a solid 24 hrs to raise money for a the local Mental Health charity The Wave Project that will help young people who need this valuable resource they provide. . https://www.waveproject.co.uk/
The Wave Project offers surf experiences and lessons to young people that have mental health illness with amazing results to their health (and water skills!) at the end. Our local branch is based in Sidmouth and they are delighted we have chosen them to benefit from the event.
Its been a long 24 months but for every hour that we dance we hope that this event will bring some smiles, moments of reflection and some much needed money for a great local charity.
