To raise spirits during the festive period, in light of the hard times that we face, the Upper School Charity Committee at Dulwich College is aiming to raise money for the 'King's Elf Service', a scheme that provides gifts and personalised e-cards for all patients stuck in hospital over Christmas. Dulwich College pupils have formed a number of teams who will run for up to 16 hours collectively on the weekend of 28th/29th November, a challenge that will stretch every single boy both physically and mentally. The campaign was started by Louis Ng, Sameer Khalil, Elliot Cox, Zain Ismail and Leonardo Pereira Dias, who will form their own 5-man team. They have since been joined by a team representing the Dulwich College CCF (led by Edward Brilliant), a team representing the Upper School Boarding Houses (led by Alick Galvez and Marco Cheung), a Year 13 team and two further Year 12 teams.

There is no underestimating the impact Covid-19 has had on many families over this pandemic and it is more important now than ever to help those in need. I hope you will all support this challenge by giving generously. Any donation to this amazing cause, big or small, would be hugely appreciated and will go a long way. Thank you!
