Charity Work
At Hutton Rudby Primary School we realise how fortunate we are to be healthy, happy, clothed and fed. We also know that not everybody is so fortunate. Over the course of the school we have supported a number of brilliant causes, ranging from helping the Street Children of Iringa to donating to local food banks.
Recently, due to a tragedy that befell the local community, and our school community, we have turned our fundraising attention to children’s mental health, and the Russ Devereux Headlight Project. The project aims to work with children delivering emotional resilience programmes in schools, as early intervention enables children to cope in later life with stressful situations or crisis. The project also offers one-to-one counselling and play therapy sessions.
More information about the Headlight Project can be found by clicking here.
As part of our fundraising, a team of staff completed the National 3 Peaks Challenge in 23 hours 8 minutes after months of training. This challenge raised £15,000 for the Headlight Project and is something that we are all incredibly proud to have been involved with.
There will be more fundraising events taking place in the coming years for this fantastic cause.
If you are interested in learning more about our challenge and training, please enjoy the videos below.
The above was filmed the week prior to our adventure, it helped raise awareness of the cause and of our JustGiving page.
This video detailed our first training walk up Scafell Pike.
