Year three to year six students from Christ the King Primary School in Thornaby, undertook several activities to raise more than £1,800 for the cancer support centre.
The fun and engaging activities included students undertaking sponsored walks, a bake sale, coffee morning and a non-uniform day.
The Trinity Holistic Centre is a charitable service supporting patients with cancer and other long-term conditions, as well as their families and hospital staff.
Macmillan information and support centres’ business manager Lauren Farrow said: “We were so overwhelmed when the pupils and teachers of Christ the King Primary School presented us with the money, they had worked so hard to fundraise.
They will help us to support so many cancer patients and families living locally. The team loved showing them around the centre and teaching them about the services, they are an absolute credit to their school.”
To celebrate their amazing achievements, they were invited to get a sneak peek around the Trinity Holistic Centre in The James Cook University Hospital.
The children participated in mindfulness and hypnotherapy sessions while learning a few moves of the ancient Chinese martial art Tai-Chi. They were also taught about the effects of smoking and how to lead a healthy lifestyle.
The sessions had a positive impact on students as they were able to take home insightful knowledge whilst learning more about the valuable work being carried out by NHS staff.
Year 6 class teacher Chloe Sawdon said: “Our school council and well-being warrior children have done an amazing job to raise lots of money for Trinity Holistic Centre during our coffee morning and sponsored walk.
“We all feel very proud to raise awareness and donate to such a good cause. We hope our donations help continue the great work of the centre by serving those in need in our community.”
