St James Schools 'Swim the Night' for The Purple Elephant Project

Swim the Night · 5 October 2024 ·
The Heads of Geography from the girls' and boys' schools (Ms Riley and Mr La Frenais) are teaming up to 'Swim the Night' at Hampton Pool. On Saturday 5th October, they will be swimming 1km every hour for 12 hours, from 7pm all the way through the night until 7am the following morning.
They hope their efforts will help to raise funds for The Purple Elephant Project, a local children’s mental health charity, supporting over 100 children and their families every week with therapeutic services such as Play and Art Therapy across the London Boroughs of Richmond, Hounslow and beyond.
The Purple Elephant Project works with children and their families facing various challenges, such as trauma, mild anxiety, lack of confidence or sadness. Through specialist therapeutic services tailored to each child’s unique needs, they work to transform lives; enabling children to reach their full potential and a brighter future.
Thank you for your donations! And for your encouragement as we 'Swim the Night'.
