William Hulme's Grammar School raises cash for Henshaws

Henshaws July - 2010

The pupils of William Hulme's Grammar School, on Spring Bridge Road in Manchester, have raised nearly two thousand pounds for charity over the last school year. Students have been busy raising cash through a variety of events, including non uniform days, talent shows, concerts and a Valentine’s ball.

Warren Moore, head pupil at the successful Manchester academy presented Morris Loveland, a long standing volunteer for Henshaws Society for Blind People and former head teacher at the School, and Liz Greenwood, fundraising officer for St Anne’s Hospice, with cheques for £967.

Peter Booth, head of fundraising for Henshaws said: ‘Sometime people in our society are a little too quick to believe the worst about our young people. The pupils of William Hulme's School demonstrate that kindness, commitment and generosity of spirit are very much alive and well in the next generation. There efforts over the last year have been an inspiration to people of all ages and they, their parents and their school should be proud of what they’ve achieved. 

The award winning William Hulme's Grammar School has been one of Manchester leading schools, since its foundation in 1887.
