Do Your Thing and help Raise Money for Children in Need

We all (hopefully) know about children in need, but how can we help out?

Indeed, we are just a few hundred children… few hundred. There’s so many we can all do to help, and, as you might have heard, our school council has prepared a special fundraising event, Do Your Thing Day. On this day, if you go to a club or group, whether inside or outside of school, you may dress up in the clothes you wear at that club/group. For example, if you go to karate, you could wear your karate Gi (the loose white uniform worn in karate or judo) or, if you go to a club where you don’t need to wear a uniform, like, for example, choir, perhaps you could wear a t-shirt with musical notes on it or the clothes you wore to a performance! Anything that involves your club or group is absolutely fine!

You can do practically anything to raise money for charities and, of course, children in need at home as well, not just at school! 😊

FUN FACT: Children in Need has been given one evening on BBC One every year since 1980. Events aimed at raising money for charities working with children in the UK were shown. In 2007 over £39 million was raised. £19 million was raised on the programme.

What is your thing? Let us know in the comments below.
