Today we were delighted to welcome Samantha from Dougie Mac into school, where she led a special celebration assembly to recognise the incredible fundraising achievements of our whole school community.
We are so proud to share that our recent Dance-a-thon raised an amazing £2,811.75 for Dougie Mac! This fantastic total has earned Forsbrook CE Primary School Gold Leaf Status on the Dougie Mac Supporter Recognition Tree. A gold leaf engraved with our school’s name will be proudly displayed for the next 12 months before being returned to us as a keepsake.
Samantha thanked our pupils, staff, families and friends for their enthusiasm, generosity and community spirit. She spoke about how our fundraising will help Dougie Mac continue to provide specialist care and support to local people and their families when they need it most.
We were also recognised for supporting the Bag It, Bring It campaign by collecting 80 charity bags, which could generate around £3,200 in retail value for the charity.
The celebrations don’t stop there! Later this year, one of our staff members will be taking on a charity skydive for Dougie Mac. Fundraising for this exciting challenge will begin in September, and we look forward to sharing more details with you then. We hope our wonderful school community will get behind this incredible challenge once again!
A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored, donated, took part, volunteered and supported our fundraising events. Every contribution has helped make a real difference, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we have achieved together.
Well done, Team Forsbrook – you are amazing!
