Senior School Prefects will each be running,  walking, or cycling 17km to represent the 17% of children that suffer from a mental health disorder. We will also be holding a baking competition for pupils in the school so that everyone can get involved with raising money.  

Keep up to date with our progress using the hashtag #wisbechgrammar17for17 on social media.

We chose Young Minds because of the fantastic work they do in supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children and young people. As young people ourselves, we understand the detriment that the past year has had on the physical and emotional health of many. We need to support each other in these tough times, reach out, and create and share coping mechanisms to prevent the mental health of children and young adults from reaching crisis point. We, therefore, believe it is essential to be supporting this cause, now more than ever, to bring about awareness.

We’d really appreciate your support to help raise money for such a fantastic charity.
