Thanks for taking the time to visit the St Helen's and St Mary's Primary School Partnership JustGiving page.

Inspired by 'Captain Tom' who walked 100 laps of his garden, raising over £20 million for the NHS, we wanted to play our part as a partnership of schools (St Helen's in Alveston and St Mary's in Yate) in supporting doctors, nurses, health professionals and poorly patients at this time. 

What are we doing?

Starting on Monday 27th April and lasting for only 1 week, children, staff and families connected to the school are going to try to complete a personal challenge in the spirit of 'Captain Tom', whilst complying with the government's lockdown guidelines. It could be 20 times up and down the stairs each day (140 times over a week), or 100 laps of the garden over the week. It could be an hour of trampolining every day (who knows how many bounces that could be!) or 50 press-ups a day (making 350 press-ups over the week). 

Each of our children will try to raise sponsorship by sharing this page with friends and family telling them their specific goal! Do support us in aiming for our target of £1000 for Southmead Hospital Charity who will in turn support the staff and patients at Southmead, who serve our communities.
