Big Hearts, Small Hands: Whitegate CofE Pupils Raise Over £800 for Local Childhood Cancer Charity

Whitegate CofE Primary Pupils See Their Fundraising in Action with Visit to The Joshua Tree

Last Friday, Year 6 pupils from Whitegate Church of England Primary School visited The Joshua Tree’s Northwich Support Centre, offering them a valuable opportunity to witness the impact of their remarkable fundraising efforts. The visit marked a celebration of their outstanding achievement, having raised an impressive £802.83 through their Autumn Fair and the sale of 3D-printed toys.

Earlier in the academic year, the Year 6 class democratically voted to support a local charity, with The Joshua Tree receiving a clear majority of the votes. Inspired by the charity’s mission to support families affected by childhood cancers, the pupils were eager to make a difference.

The visit provided the class of 30 with a valuable opportunity to see first-hand the impact of their support, including a guided tour of the centre, an engaging talk from Danielle Percival, Head of Family Support, and a chance encounter with the charity’s mascot!

Danielle, who led the tour, was struck by the pupils’ empathy and engagement.
