Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Whether you donate here or on our dedicated Mary's Meals fundraising page below, all donations go to support the feeding programme at Makalanga School https://www.marysmeals.org.uk/fundraising#/detail/7011n000001FX6YAAW

Our latest fundraising challenge The 24/7 took place on Sunday 2 July with 40 pupils and 7 staff. Fastest time 7 hours 49 minutes. The final walkers came in blistered but undefeated after 9 hours 36 minutes. Total distance covered by all walkers 948.3 miles.

Thank you for your support and helping us honour our longstanding commitment to providing a daily meal in school to Makalanga BT2, a primary school of around 600 pupils near Blantyre, the capital of Malawi.

Princethorpe College is now in its 16th year of fundraising for Mary's Meals. 93p in the £1 goes directly to its charitable activities and it costs less than £20 to feed a child for an entire year - so whatever is donated here will make a difference.

We already completed one major challenge - On Sunday 2 April, a team of pupils and staff took part in the Coventry Way Challenge, a circular 40 mile route. It was a long, long day and soaking wet boots and serious blisters did not make it any easier! Between us we walked 388 miles - that's from a team of 7 pupils, two staff, one Old Princethorpian and three additional staff walking a stretch of the way in support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
