'B The Change' Fundraising

In 2004, the school started a fundraising project called 'B The Change'. This project was to raise money for many charities including Ryan's Well and Fairtrade. It proved to be very successful and raised thousands of pounds for the charities. Also, the school has their very own wristband for this project. It is blue and yellow (the school colours) and says 'B THE CHANGE' on it. The proceeds of these wristbands also went to charity. [1]
