Santa run helps Movement Centre
Moreton Hall Prep School in Weston Rhyn has raised £900 in sponsorship during its annual Santa Run, held within the 100 acre grounds at Moreton Hall.
The pupils from the independent school spread festive cheer in Santa costumes to raise funds for families who depend on the service provided by The Movement Centre in Oswestry.
A specialist treatment centre, the charity supports children and their families living with movement disabilities.
It provides targeted training therapy to enable children to develop new skills and become far more independent which can have a huge impact on their life.
The centre is currently the only one in the world providing this type of therapy and rely on support and donations to make sure children across the UK get the life-changing help they need.
Year One pupil Isla Borrett who donated her birthday money to the charity said: “Having lots of money doesn’t matter, but helping children who can’t walk does.”
Silvia Grace, Acting Headteacher of Moreton Prep said: “It was a magical moment to see a parade of red Santas of all sizes flowing out of Moreton Prep to go on their run. They knew that their run was for a good cause and that other children would benefit from their efforts. It was a truly superb event and many thanks to all the parents for their generous donations.”
