Story

3rd Feb 2022 will be 4 years since my sister, Sarah passed away. We were due to take her swimming to the Calvert Trust at Keswick for the first ever time on this exact date in 2018. Unfortunately we didn't make it as her illness took its toll sooner than expected. She was a pupil at James Rennie from age 4-19 and had the happiest days of her life there!

Myself & my Dad, Steve, will be walking the distance of 26 miles, which is the exact equivalent from our home to the pool site on the 3rd of Feb 2022.

We would love to raise a few pennies to put SOLEY towards the memorial water feature on the new playground in memory of ALL the pupils/ex pupils 'we have loved and lost' over the years.

YOU ARE ALL NEVER FORGOTTEN!

James Rennie School are raising money to build a playground that is accessible to pupils who have Profound and Complex Multiple Needs. These pupils cannot access mainstream playground equipment, we hope to raise enough funds to provide a playground that will be wheelchair accessible, safe and most importantly inclusive. Our vision is to see pupils enjoying play on a range of adapted swings, roundabouts and seesaws. Within our playground we will have a sensory shelter that is has a range of stimulating mobiles, sound system and interactive objects to explore. Additionally, we will have a water feature that we be a special memorial that remembers the pupils we have loved and lost. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
