Alayna, from Y2 climbed the O2 last night as part of a fundraiser to raise money for a charity called Forgotten Women:https://forgottenwomen.org/about/

Forgotten Women is a charity run by women for women, a UK based organisation dedicated to helping women in crisis and emergencies, lifting them out of poverty and championing equality and rights for marginalised girls and women. The charity was set up after witnessing first-hand the ‘sex for aid’ violations and manipulation of women in vulnerable situations. 

Forgotten Women have been delivering safe aid to women by women for 7 years now. The three areas of work they focus on are:

1. Safe Aid: Delivering emergency aid to women by women
2. Transforming Lives: Changing the lives of women in poverty with business start-ups
3. Advocacy: Being the voice for women

Alana was the youngest in a group of 22 participants, she showed a lot of bravery and confidence, despite being a little fearful of the height. In a short space of 2 weeks she raised £255.

We are very proud!
