In Year 5 and 6, for our topic of Peace and Conflict, we have been learning about the impact of conflict on evacuees during World War 2, but also on refugees in the present day who have had to flee conflict.

We have been inspired to be 'Brave Changemakers' and make a difference for some refugees who live nearby. We had a virtual visit from a lady from the charity 'Refugee Women of Bristol' who explained to use some of the challenges experienced by refugees arriving here and how they help.

We would love to raise some money to support the work of this charity. 

All of the children in Year 5 have chosen a personal challenge! They have a whole range of ideas, from 150 laps around the garden every day for a week to reading 100 pages a day for a week! They would love to be sponsored for doing these challenges and help to support this fantastic charity.

Year 6 will be raising awareness through their fantastic writing.

Thank you for your support!

About the charity:

RWoB was set up in 2003 by a group of refugee women. They identified a number of common challenges in settling in to their new life in the UK regardless of where they came from. RWoB is directly governed by women of the refugee and asylum seeking community in Bristol. We support refugee and asylum seeking women to empower and build resilience.
