Dotty Day

We'd like to thank the pupils and teachers of Queen Elizabeth II Primary School in Trillick, Northern Ireland for raising an amazing £521.

The Principal, Joyce Clingan, and the pupils decided to find out more about what it was like to live with sight loss and to raise money for RNIB.

The school took part in a Sight Loss Awareness talk and then raised money through a collection and Dotty Day when they came to school wearing something with dots. A Dotty Day is RNIB's dress down day - the dots signifying braille dots.

The money raised will help support RNIB's Children and Youth Service which provides educational support, physical activities, social events and vital confidence building for children and teenagers who have sight loss in Northern Ireland.


Sponsored Book Read

Thanks to pupils from Rugby High School who took part in a sponsored book read.

It was an amazing amount and £500 will be sponsoring a new Talking Book for children and the remainder will go to help transform Rushton School and Children's Home.

A great example of schools helping schools!
