On Sunday 13th July, 15 members of staff and some relatives took part in the Race for Life at Himley Hall in Dudley; this was in aid of remembering and supporting loved ones and families who have faced difficult challenges. The team had a fantastic day despite the floods of rain beforehand. The team spirit was high and everyone was raring to go all for a good cause. To date the team have raised over £700 between them and there is still more money coming in. Children from the School Council decided to have a non uniform day on Friday 11th July; all the money collected has now been donated to Cancer Research. The staff and pupils at VPPA always aim to reach the community and to help others. On behalf of the team we would like to express our thanks for all of your kind donations. Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. Donations can still be made online until 31st August 2014.
