We have now decided to choose what charities to support in our school by a voting system. This gives the girls the opportunity to vote for the charities they want to support, and giving them a voice. It also presents new charities that the girls would like to fundraise for, and opens up so many options. The girls are given information on the different charities and they then tick the charities they would most like to support with an option of suggesting one of their own to be considered. There is two different votes: one for local charities and one for National Charities. At the end of the balloting, the votes are counted up and a decision made.
This is undergoing modification and new groups are being set up. We are looking at our Charity and community action group being called the yellow team or otherwise simply Charity and Community or a more formal name.
