Geneva Marathon and SkyDive For The Collett School

Raising money for The Collett School, who do such amazing work with disabled children. Any donation will be greatly appreciated. The Collett School is a “very” special school attended by children from all over Hertfordshire and the neighbouring Counties. Our children have many syndromes including Down's and 50% of our children have Autism. Two of our pupils have very rare diagnosis, one who is one of only two in the world and another who is one of only six in the world. Almost half of our children are under Great Ormond Street Hospital. Nearly 50% of our pupils come from financially disadvantaged backgrounds; some are in care or fostered. We are the only "Special" school in Hertfordshire who cater for 4 to 17 year olds and one of the lowest funded. The Collett School is striving to become a flagship for special education by changing the perception of and the way our children learn and grow. Our mission is to support the children to grow in confidence and as much independence as possible allowing them to be part of society and contribute to the community. We have been highly proactive in achieving as much as we can with little money and hard graft by the staff, our parents and pupils. We are now in a position that we need help!
