Sport Relief 2012

They went the extra mile!

Schools and early years groups went to great lengths to fundraise for Sport Relief 2012. From sponsored walks, tugs of war and sports quizzes to fancy dress days, zumbathons and cake sales – you name it, they did it! And this is how…

£943

A successful sponsored walk

Miles of fun had by all

A great effort by everyone at Ruthvenfield Primary School in Perth meant they raised a brilliant £942.80 for Sport Relief 2012. Teachers, pupils and parents got sponsored to walk a mile, led by their Helen Skelton inspired Antarctic Athletes!

There was a ‘Grand Opening’ of the newly refurbished path followed by the mile event itself. Now every time pupils walk along the path, they think about Sport Relief and the money they've raised to help give other children access to clean drinking water.

What didn’t they do?

As if that wasn’t enough, they also sold Sport Relief Sweatbands which helped to raise a whopping £600.73.
