Cupcake Day raises funds for Alzheimers Society

On Thursday 13th June we invited the school community to come together in support of Alzheimer’s Society Cupcake Day, an opportunity to help people affected by dementia simply through the donation or purchase of cake.

A charity close to the heart of many including our own Head of Art, Mrs Frayne, Alzheimer’s Society relies on fundraising to improve the lives of people with dementia, a condition caused by diseases of the brain and one which can affect the way people speak, think, feel and behave.

Over 40,000 people under the age of 65 in the UK have early-onset dementia and the charity is committed to spending £150 million on cutting-edge research over the next 10 years.

Thanks for the wonderful support given by students, parents and staff, we proudly raised a magnificent £536.88 on the day (and enjoyed some rather delicious cupcakes whilst doing so). Congratulations also go to Year 7’s Jake Hughes who correctly guessed the weight of the cake and Kareena Patel, whose Oreo-centred cupcake deservedly won the student bake-off competition.
