I’d like to say a massive thank you to Bucks Students’ Union, who have raised a fantastic £1,000 for LearnAsOne this year.

The students have sold cakes, washed cars, done a jail break and will soon be sky diving to raise funds. This is the third year the RAG society have fundraised for LearnAsOne. In total they have now raised £3,808.42. All the money will help to buy raw materials for Simakakata Community School.

I’d like to thank all the staff and students who have contributed, with special mentions going to Alice Dewsnap and Kerry O’Neill for organising all the volunteering activity throughout the year. Loving your work girls!

If your RAG society would like to fundraise for LearnAsOne next year please leave a comment below or email me at fundraise@learnasone.org.

Hi Steve. Your charity looks great! I volunteer for Friend of EduSport, and we’re currently in the planning stages of building a school and sporting centre of excellence in Lusaka. Are you London-based? Would be great to meet up, or chat to get your thoughts on the project! Cheers, Bex :o )
