Here are just a few of the brilliant events that have been taking place in schools to help raise money for the NSPCC and let people know that child abuse must stop. FULL STOP.

Faking it...

After watching NSPCC adverts on TV; a group of year seven pupils from St Aidan's Church of England High School came up with a great new way of raising both awareness and money for the NSPCC.

Lorna from the group writes: "We bandaged ourselves with fake injuries and set off in pairs to attract attention. When pupils and staff asked what was wrong with us, we told them we were just fine but that a lot of children were not and so would they like to donate money for the work of the NSPCC!"

The event raised over 60 and made everyone think about the problems some children face.

Every penny counts!

Money came rolling in at Woodlands Primary School recently when they held a penny race to raise money for the NSPCC.

Daniel, a year five pupil and the Secretary of the School Council writes: "It was a wonderful day. One teacher thought he could use big cardboard pennies, luckily we caught him out! All the children enjoyed the fundraising day. We managed to raise 111.10p to donate to your charity. We hope this will help you look after children".

Show offs wanted!

Top performers took the stage at Bradfield Church of England (Aided) Primary School in Reading's talent show.

Pupils aged five to eleven took part in a festival of singing, music, reading and dancing to raise money for the NSPCC. Year six pupils successfully organised the whole event for the school and over 70 will now be going to the NSPCC.

Put your best foot forward

Olivia, a year five student from London, tramped through the wilds of Richmond Park and raised some serious cash for the NSPCC.

She organised a sponsored walk around the park and her and her mates raised a massive 777 which goes straight to helping the NSPCC end cruelty to children. Olivia said about her efforts: "ummm...well I when I saw the ads on tv, I just felt so sad, but I know I've done something to help". Go Olivia!
