As a parent who has a son in Reception, I can see how special St Mary Abbots School is - the school is an inspiring place for young people to thrive and grow and the community spirit is second to none.

I am passionate about the school my son attends and therefore I want to support the charity Friends of St Mary Abbots - the charity which fundraises directly for the school’s educational activities such as forest school, Singapore maths, French and swimming classes. Due to rising costs and insufficient funding, the school is now struggling to cover all costs and the extracurricular activities are at risk.

I am fortunate enough to have a supportive company that will match fund up to £10,000 towards the required goal of £66,000. I would love to raise these funds alongside the community of St Mary Abbots including parents, teachers and the wider community in and around High Street Kensington including our local businesses. I look forward enjoying Fun Run whilst we raise these vital funds.
