We fundraise with creative, exciting events to enhance the education of Buckland pupils

Story

This year is different in so many ways and we have had to get extra creative in our fundraising! 

In November, the children of Buckland Primary School, alongside their families and teachers, set themselves the challenge of collectively travelling the distance from their school to the North Pole! That's just over 3000 miles! Together, they've scooted, paddle boarded, family hiked and cycled throughout lockdown, clocking up the miles to stay healthy and raise money for their new school computers and more. 

Astonishingly, they smashed the initial target in under three weeks and have now set themselves the further challenge of returning home in time for Christmas Day! 

Please sponsor the children and their families in this endeavour if you can; every donation is much appreciated. You can learn more about The Friends of Buckland School (FOBS) and their fundraising here https://www.bucklandprimaryschool.org.uk/friends-of-buckland-school-fobs/
