House Fundraising Challenge

At Sir Robert Pattinson Academy we are proud of our long-standing community service and adopted the North Hykeham Day Centre for the elderly over ten years ago. Every tutor group work together to create personalised hampers and Christmas cards for the day centre clients.

The Academy Council then present these to the clients at the student led Christmas party. Links have also been developed where students visit the centre to spend time with the residents. Students have also worked with let them eat cake, a charity which works with gifting supplies to the homeless during holiday periods.

Over the years, fundraising at the academy has taken place with a variety of charities and good causes. Previously, students have chosen to support the North Hykeham Day Centre, Macmillan, Sport Relief, Children in Need and most recently raised over £5947.70 for the St Barnabas Charity. Some key events which allowed for this outstanding donation include, the Academy Fun Run, Year 7 Disco, bake sales, raffles, lucky dips and sixth-form led breaktime events.

In September, Students vote for a charity for each house and then one Charity is selected for the academic year. We have a yearly fundraising challenge that continues to grow and, so far, the academy has raised over £15000 over the last 3 years. Our chosen Charity for 2024 is Age UK, a Lincoln-based charity supporting the elderly.
