Helsinki house's charity for 2013-2014 is Children With Cancer 2014. Many will remember the Funky Footwear Friday event organised by Mrs Pickard last April where, as a school, we raised nearly £700 for the charity. Mrs Pickard also ran in the 2013 London Marathon in aid of Children with Cancer UK.

Now Helsinki have decided to support the charity in a vote which included another candidate charity for people with Cancer (Macmillan Cancer Support). Between them these two organisations received the vast majority of votes so we are certainly supporting a charity which means a great deal to many Helsinki members.

We would be pleased to hear from pupils, staff or parents who would like to help raise funds for this important cause.
