Gorgeous George Fox, who would be 15, is a very much missed, and fondly remembered, member of our school community. A group of staff from Arnold Academy, George's school, are aiming to complete 15 hours walking through the Peak District in one weekend, to raise funds for both Brain Tumour Research and Keech Hospice (our school's chosen charity for the year) as a way to remember George, though as a school, we will never, ever forget him. Please assign any funds you are kind enough to sponsor evenly between both charities or in a split of your choice. For some of us, the biggest challenge will be the two nights camping this requires!

Keech Hospice is a wonderful hospice, local to George, who supported him and his family at their greatest time of need. They have also touched the lives of so many of our students and their families. As a school, we have chosen to support them this year as our way of saying thank you, and giving back.

It takes around £7million every year to run Keech, that’s over £19, 000 every day, to provide their specialist care adults, children, and their loved ones. As a charity, they rely on supporters for around 70% of their funding.
