Helping the local community
We invited special guests to our Chapel service from The Bordon, Liphook & Haslemere Charity in order to present them with a charity donation from monies raised by the school. Mr Carl Tantum, MBE and valued St. Edmund’s grandparent, set up the charity 20 years ago providing food, clothing and furniture for those in need in the local community through the profits of their three charity shops.
Mr Bob Monteath, CEO of the charity, received the donation and thanked the children for their generosity in helping others less fortunate than themselves. It is anticipated that the school will further build on the links with The Bordon, Liphook and Haslemere Charity when the senior children start their charity work as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
