Kidderminster school's fundraising challenge boosted by Rotary donation
A £1,000 donation has boosted a Kidderminster school’s £12,000fundraising challenge to help 180 students a year to gain the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award.
Bewdley Rotary Club’s contribution to Baxter College’s appeal pushes the total raised to £8,150.
The school began providing the DofE experience to all Year 9 students during Covid, when restrictions meant the expedition element of the Bronze Award was completed in two separate days, with no overnight camp.
From this summer, the camping is re-introduced and, although the school has some equipment, it does not have enough for such large numbers.
Rotary past president Terry Garbett said: “As a community service organisation we are very pleased to be able to support this appeal as part of our commitment to youth work.”
