Alice’s story
I'm doing a sponsored swim alongside some brave parents and teachers on Sunday 17th December at Brockwell Lido to raise money for Woodmansterne School. The money will go towards things like fruit for every child, books, school theatre and cinema trips, playground equipment and even agricultural equipment so the school can start growing more of its own produce. It's a big, brilliant, diverse South London school and provides an excellent education for the children in our community.
With huge funding cuts and the cost of living crisis, we don't want any child to miss out on those additional things. To this end we're getting into a pool that will be approximately 4 degrees and swimming as many lengths as we can in the hope that we can raise some money.
I love swimming at the lido (in the summer) and this year set myself the chilly challenge of swimming all through the winter. Raising money to support all the wonderful things this school does to nurture and educate our kids has provided me with some great motivation to keep on swimming. It’s only November and I can tell you those first couple of lengths are already bitter - how many lengths will we endure in December ?
I would be so grateful if you could help support us - even a few pounds all adds up.
Thank you x
