A Froebelian flying fundraising start for Yorkshire Air Ambulance

The Froebelian School Horsforth, Leeds has begun the academic year raising an unprecedented amount for their designated charity for the year.

The leading Independent Preparatory School for children aged 3-11 years has come together as a community to raise over £2300.00 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance in just five months.

With future events in the offing, offering a number of opportunities to raise even more money, they are off to a ‘flying start’.

Headteacher Catherine Dodds said: “I am over whelmed by how the Froebelian family has embraced the fundraising for the charity this year - with individual and group efforts from pupils, staff, parents, friends and the PTA - we are on target for a record breaking year.”

Vickie Bowden, West Yorkshire Regional Fundraiser, from Yorkshire Air Ambulance said: “The charity relies on donations to ensure we can continue to save lives across the region and make a difference to someone who needs our help. With a running cost of around £12,000 per day, we are incredibly grateful to each and everyone at The Froebelian School for making such a magnificent start to their fundraising year.”
