SPONSORED WALK - PART OF
THE CURRICULUM?
Six lads from Sheringham High School organised and took part in a
sponsored walk for charity on 30 August, as part of their GCSE coursework, and managed to
raise in excess of £250 for BREAK Charity.
Nicky Sadler, Harry Heathfield, James Hagon, Alex Silcock, Ben Little and Callum Barnes
who all live in Sheringham and surrounding villages are just about to start year 11 at the
High School and had to do something for their local community as part of their Citizenship
short course GCSE. They chose to walk the five and a half miles from Cromer to
Sheringham taking the Peddars Way route, beginning and ending at the BREAK Charity shops
in the towns. Not only did they need to plan the route, but also ensure that they
had people acting as Marshalls at various intervals and of course, ensure they were well
prepared, so they brought with them a first aid kit, a first aid book, a route map and
plenty of provisions!
Callum Barnes, one of the walkers said, "Although it took us three and a
quarter hours to complete, we really enjoyed ourselves. We all go to Sheringham High
School but we don't get to see each other much in the summer holidays as we live all over
North Norfolk. So when we did get together we had loads to catch up on and had a
really good laugh. We'll definitely do it again."
The GCSE requires that an event to benefit the local community is organised and run, which
could include arranging a talk with a celebrity speaker or organising a fundraising event
amongst other things. Liz Holman, Community Fundraising Officer for BREAK is
impressed with the boys' initiative. "It's great the way they organised this by
themselves and I'm really delighted that they chose BREAK as the charity they walked
for."
If you would like to help BREAK by organising a fundraising event or volunteering your
time, please contact Liz Holman on 01263 820710.
