On Friday 25 October, Mr Cusworth-Yafai, Assistant Principal at Thorns Collegiate Academy, will be taking on an incredible challenge – a 35-mile ultra marathon across the Trust’s 12 schools in just one day – to raise funds for WaterAid! His mission? To help provide clean water and sanitation to communities in need around the world.
The funds raised will directly support WaterAid’s mission to provide access to clean water and sanitation in some of the world’s poorest areas. Water poverty is a reality for millions of people across the globe. Efforts like these are crucial to help raise awareness and fostering sustainable change.
The Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust community will also be rallying behind the cause. Schools will be hosting exciting activities like non-uniform days, a marathon baton design competition and WaterAid’s Pupil Pipeline Challenge, where students will create water-saving devices. Plus, through WaterAid’s Just Water Challenge, students are also pledging to drink only water for a set time to raise sponsorships. These efforts are all about raising awareness of water conservation and global responsibility as well as raising vital funds for such an amazing cause.
