Our school is taking part in a Walkathon on 25th November to raise money for East Lothian Horizons. We invite you to support us by sponsoring us here.

East Lothian Horizons is a local community group who are sponsoring a refugee family fleeing conflict to move to East Lothian through the government's community sponsorship scheme. This scheme allows local communities to respond to the global refugee crisis in a specific and tangible way.

East Lothian Horizons need to raise £10,500 to apply to the Home Office to be allowed to welcome a refugee family to our area. The group will welcome the family, help them find accommodation, support their access to schools and medical services, help them to learn English, support access to future job training as well as providing a befriending service.

East Lothian Horizons will support the family for two years. Please help us to help them reach their target by donating to our Walkathon!
