			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230; as last minute orders for red roses are frantically placed and chocolates and champagne fly off the shelves, kind-hearted King’s School students turn the demand for Valentine’s Day gifts into a charity fundraising opportunity &#8230; for Funny Blood! In fact, Professor Steve Watson &#8211; one of our Stakeholders &#8211; will be attending and speaking at the event x</p>
<p><a href="http://www.funnyblood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/250px-Ksw_logo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1990" title="250px-Ksw_logo" src="http://www.funnyblood.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/250px-Ksw_logo.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="103" /></a></p>
<p>Via a Press Release organised by the King’s School Sixth Form Charity Committee, the special Valentine’s Day sale will take place on 14<sup>th</sup> February and will sell a range of cakes, chocolates and sweets to staff and pupils.  All of the funds raised from the sale will be donated to Funny Blood; which<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> is one of several charities selected by the Sixth Form Charity Committee to benefit from a proportion of the funds raised from a number of fundraising events and activities that take place throughout the year.</span></p>
<p>Chaired by Sarah Le Marchand, King’s School Head of Sixth Form, the Charity Committee comprises 16 students from the Sixth Form and five members of staff <span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">“<em>Helping others is important to all of the pupils at King’s.  The Charity Committee is extremely popular and we are never short of volunteers! </em></span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><em>We meet every week to plan events and fundraising activities.  Students are enthusiastic and freely give of their time to organise events such as the Valentine’s Sale</em>.” explained Ms Le Marchand.</span></p>
<p>The Charity Committee also organises an annual Christmas party for the elderly residents of local Sheltered Housing and a summer garden party for the pupils at Fort Royal School.  Based in Wyld’s Lane, Fort Royal School supports the needs of children, aged 2-11 years, who have a range of physical, mental and learning disabilities.  The Charity Committee invites the whole school, its staff and helpers for a party in the summer term, which includes: dancing, music, a bouncy castle, magic show and a BBQ lunch.</p>
<p>“<em>Each year the Sixth Form Charity Committee raises around £3000 for local and national charities.  This makes up a significant proportion of the total funds raised by the whole of the School.  Last year alone the School raised a staggering £16,000 for charity</em>,” concluded Ms Le Marchand.</p>
<p>Thanks to Hannah at HW Communications for the Press Release, we appreciate you allowing us to use it x</p>
