Balcarras Raises Over £15,000 for Sue Ryder!

The school Sponsored walk was a success this year.

On Friday 19th September, the entire school took part in our much-loved annual sponsored walk through the stunning Cotswold countryside. Nearly 1,000 students and more than 100 staff joined in the event—with a few daring participants even running the challenging route! If you’ve experienced the course before, you’ll know just how steep it can be.

We were lucky to enjoy fantastic weather on the day, which made the event even more memorable.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, including additional donations from the Cheltenham Half Marathon, we’re proud to announce that we raised over £15,000 for Sue Ryder!

We are delighted to say that by combining the amount raised by staff who took part in the Half Marathon, along with the amount raised by students for the sponsored walk, as a community we have raised over £15,000 for Sue Ryder Leckhampton Hospice. Over £7000 was raised by the students as a result of the sponsored walk.  A huge thanks to all who have made this possible. 

Here is some aerial footage from the event.
