Pupils 'Wear It Pink' for breast cancer charity
Haberdashers' Abraham Darby in Telford hosted a Wear It Pink day on 18 October to raise money for Breast Cancer Support. Staff and sixth form pupils donned pink attire and accessories, with some adapting their uniforms to incorporate the colour. A bake sale was also organised to further boost fundraising efforts.
The initiative was particularly meaningful for the school, as an important member of the sixth form team is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The school community rallied together to show their support and solidarity.
"We are incredibly proud of our sixth form pupils," said Deputy Head of Sixth Form Sarah Yeomans. "They are always thinking of other people and always looking for ways to help and support those who need it."
In total, the school raised £350 for Breast Cancer Support through the Wear It Pink day. This demonstrates the compassion and community spirit that are hallmarks of Haberdashers' Abraham Darby.
