Our School Choir certainly did us proud today - they sang so angelically and confidently at Festival Place to help raise funds for The Autistic Society. We really appreciate their efforts and it was lovely seeing shoppers stop and listen to them sing as well as make a small donation to the charity.

I would like to thank all of the parents and family members who came to support the children. I could see how proud you all were too, which was lovely to see. And a huge thank you to Miss Khan who has worked so hard to teach the children the carols.

It is so important that we encourage our children to contribute when they can to worthwhile causes. Not only will they get a sense of satisfaction from helping others but it will increase their self esteem and confidence too.
