Stourbridge students don pants and hats and raise hundreds of pounds for charity
A 'pants and hats' event at a Stourbridge school helped students and staff to raise hundreds of pounds in aid of a leukaemia research charity.
Old Swinford Hospital hosted the ‘Pants 'n' Hats to Leukaemia’ charity event, raising £473.21.
Interact, the school’s student-led charitable society, organised the event for Leukaemia UK.
Pupils and staff sported fetching accessories of pants or hats on their heads and over their trousers, donating £1 to take part.
Dr Jane McGee, psychology teacher, who helped organise the event, said: “The Interact team have led the way in enthusing and encouraging students and staff, creating a buzz and excitement about school with ‘Pants n Hats to Leukaemia’.
"As a teacher, it's a joy to see students happily stepping out of their comfort zone for a good cause.
"Learning the importance of giving from a young age teaches kids to use what they have to help others.
"Giving and fundraising promotes a culture of compassion, sharing, and generosity. This event in particular is a fun way to raise funds for a serious cause.”
