Marr College Ukraine Appeal
Over the last few weeks Marr College has been raising funds and collecting items to send over to Poland to support refugees fleeing Ukraine . Kind hearted pupils , staff and their families donated items including first aid supplies , toiletries , baby milk , nappies , warm clothing and kids backpacks . Many local community groups also donated at our Drive Through Drop Off .
S6 student Aidan Doak who volunteered at the after school drop off commented ‘ It was brilliant to see the amazing generosity of the public . With the amount we raised it is bound to make a difference ’. S6 students kicked into action on Friday to sort out all the donations and take them over to St Meddans church Hall where they will be packed on to vans and delivered directly to a community link Poland . Olivia Colgan , Amy Nixon and Cindy Ligertwood ( S6 ) were part of the team who helped transport the donations to the church and were amazed at how much had been collected to support children and families fleeing Ukraine .
Our Just Giving page https :// www . justgiving . com / fundrai sing / marr-college4 has currently raised over £ 2400 and will be sent directly to the DEC appeal when it closes on 31st March .
Everyone in school wore the colours of the Ukrainian flag with their school uniform to show their support and S6 held a bake sale at interval and lunch , raising a further £ 300 . The Art Department also decorated the Dining Hall in Ukrainian bunting and sunflowers , the national flower of Ukraine .
