Charity Committee: 20kg of coins for Comic Relief

On Monday, Mr Stamper drove Nell, Emily and Ross from the Charity Committee to hand-deliver almost 20kg of foreign coins and bank notes to British Airways’ HQ called Waterside, at Heathrow. Emily Kerr and Gregor Swanson met us – we had a tour, wandered past CEO Willie Walsh and handed over our buckets of coins and notes. The money will be converted by Travelex and that total will then go to British Airways’ global charity partnership – Comic Relief. The money was collected by the school houses and Underwood did a sterling job, collecting over 6kg on their own. We will pass on the by-house totals and the overall figure as soon as we receive it from BA and Travelex. We now also have our own Comic Relief bucket, which we can try to fill over the coming months. Well done, everyone, and thank you for your generosity.
