Pendle Primary’s bunny hop fund-raiser supports Pendleside Hospice

Children from all year groups were sponsored to take part in the hospice’s annual ‘Bunny Hop’ fundraiser, skipping and jumping for at least 10 minutes.

All of the sponsorship money has now been collected and Leah Hopper, Pendleside Hospices’ community engagement officer and Penny, the hospice’s squirrel mascot, visited the Brierfield primary school to be presented with a cheque for £1,496.

Principal, Mr Simon Thompson said: “We were delighted that our sponsored Bunny Hop helped to raise so much money for the hospice. Thank you to all of our school community for their generosity for such a worthwhile cause.”

Pendle Primary Academy is part of the Pendle Education Trust family of schools, which has created a pledge of 10 opportunities all of its primary aged children will complete before they progress to high school. One element is to take part in a fundraising activity.
