Following the recent highly publicised news stories of refugees fleeing their homes, altruistic Marden High students last term took part in a backpack campaign to help families affected by the crisis.

The recent campaign collected over 400 backpacks which have now been delivered to refugee camps in Calais and Kos.

Marden High School collected over 70 backpacks which is amazing! Thank you to everyone who donated and got involved, especially Mrs McHanwell’s Year 8 RE class, who helped raise money through sponsored silences!
