The Bone Cancer Research Trust is dedicated to saving lives & improving outcomes for people affected by primary bone cancer. Despite being small, they fund more research projects exploring primary bone cancer than any other organisation. Other large UK cancer research charities do not prioritise bone cancer patients, in 2019 just 0.028% of their research spend went to bone cancer – not even close to 1%!Last year alone, Bone Cancer Research Trust committed an incredible £807,824 to pioneering bone cancer research - to save lives!

We will be fundraising all week for the Bone Cancer Research Trust because Catherine Harris, who works in Da Vinci Class, is Godmother to Phoebe, who is being treated for this disease. Phoebe is 12. We would like to support Catherine and Phoebe in a practical way and felt that the most helpful action would be to contribute to the charity Catherine herself is supporting.  

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is a young charity with an ambitious plan to help all those affected by bone cancer by funding and organising research, providing families and the public with information, raising awareness and offering support. 

We will be collecting at the gates every day this week just in case families forget their donations. We will be grateful for anything you can give. On Thursday, the last day of term, we will finish the term with a few special activities: 

• Non-uniform day 

• Staff coffee morning for donations 

• Our School Council are raising funds by organising their own stalls  - this was their idea and we are grateful to all those who are supporting them

• A pie in the face for three lucky staff with the most children’s votes 

• A new Jellycat Frog Prize Draw for one lucky child

Thank you for your support.
