As part of the Youth Philanthropy Initiative S2 pupils continued the tradition of
excellent work done in the RMPS department by working hard to find out about local
charities they are passionate about in a bid to win £3000 for their cause. Pupils
researched local issues, interviewed the charities, worked in their RMPS classes
to put together presentations. After initial heats in the class, ten teams made it
through to the Grand Final. After difficult deliberations from the judges this years
charity winners were Befriend a Child.
“It really is a great thing that we can take part in YPI in our RMPS classes, It was enjoyable working in so many different ways and being able to feel like we were making a real difference to our communities” Luke Sherrington 2H
