As I'm sure you are aware of the tragic news of the earthquake disaster in Syria and Turkey, we would like to make a contribution as a school to the Red Cross Disasters Emergency Committee appeal. 

The DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake appeal say that your donation will be used to reach people in urgent need in the aftermath of the earthquakes. It will provide support and aid that includes:

Distributing essentials like food water and blankets

Setting up temporary shelters to support thousands of survivors who are facing freezing conditions

Providing first aid and crisis support

Assisting with the rescue efforts and getting people vital medical aid

Providing psychosocial support to those who have been traumatised

We will be having a non-school uniform day for the children on Friday 17th February and in return we ask for a donation on School Gateway or in cash via your child or the school office. 

Some of our Cavendish families have been closely affected by the disaster with family and friends being involved or affected. 

We thank you for your support and contributions.

PLEASE NOTE: This event is organised by Cavendish Community Primary School and not the PTA.
