A local parents' association has donated £1,252.40 to Macmillan Cancer Support, bringing the total funds donated to the charity to £24,904.71.

WPSA, the Parents' Association for Warwick Preparatory School, has made the donation following more if its successful coffee mornings.

The coffee mornings at the school have become a firm fixture in the school's calendar.

And they add to the wider fundraising efforts of WPSA which include discos, film nights, Easter egg hunts, quizzes, and uniform sales.

Sarah Adwick, relationship fundraising manager from Macmillan Cancer Support said: "Coffee mornings raise vital funds for people living with cancer and we are so grateful to Warwick Preparatory School for their support over the years and for raising £1,252.40 in 2022.

"We rely almost entirely on public donations to make a difference.

"Thank you, Warwick Preparatory School, for helping us do whatever it takes for people living with cancer."

Hellen Dodsworth, Headmistress for Warwick Preparatory School added: "We are delighted that WPSA has donated to such an important national charity through the fundraising efforts of our parents and children. Macmillan's purpose to support the three million people in the UK living with cancer – whether it be emotional, practical, physical, or financial support – is incredibly close to our hearts as a school community and will continue to be in the future."
