As a parent who has a son in year one, I can see how special St Mary Abbots School is - the school is an inspiring place for young people to thrive and grow and the community spirit is second to none.

I am passionate about the school my son attends and therefore I want to support the chairty Friends of St Mary Abbots - the chairty which fundraises directly for the school’s educational activities such as Singapore maths, swimming classes and a music teacher. Due to rising costs and insufficient funding, the school is now struggling to cover all costs and the extracurricular activities are at risk.

I am fortunate enough to work for a supportive company that will match fund up to £10,000 towards the required goal of £66,000. I would love to raise these funds alongside the community of St Mary abbots including parents, teachers and the wider community in and around High Street Kensington including our local businesses. I look forward to enjoying the Fun Run whilst raise these vital funds.
