The staff at Hathershaw college will be taking part in a charity fast on Wednesday 11th March to help unite communities and raise money in the process.

Our chosen charity is Save the Children. We believe all children should have the right to grow up in safe, happy environments that are free from poverty, war and conflict.

Save the Children's ambition is a world in which every child has the right to survive, learn and be protected. They support children to transform their lives. They put children's rights at the core of their work. They tackle big problems that can hold children back - like poverty and inequality - while calling on leaders to stand up for them.

Save the Children are committed to making a positive, lasting difference to children, and that is why I want to help. All donations will help vulnerable children wherever the need is greatest.
