Year 9 Philanthropy Charity Competition

After some moving and powerful presentations by Year 9 students, judges were left with a difficult decision as to which charity would be selected the winner in the Year 9 Philanthropy Charity Competition.

The team representing Rossendale Rays won the first prize of £1500 towards their charity and a second prize of £500 was awarded to the East Lancashire Down's Syndrome Support Group. 

Rossendale Rays is a special needs swimming and sports organisation and the East Lancashire Down's Syndrome Support Group provides support to new parents and gives them opportunity to meet other families living with Down's Syndrome.

Congratulations to Conner, Christopher, Honey and Tahmina, the BRGS students who represented Rossendale Rays in their presentation and also to the second placed team of Lily, Sam, Dan and Megan who spoke about the East Lancashire Down's Syndrome Support Group.

Thank you also to the Mayor of Rossendale for supporting the event and the many charity representatives who so kindly spared their time.
