Red Nose Day
On Wednesday 13 March 2019 our students organised a non-uniform day along with other fundraising activities to raise money for Comic Relief, ahead of Red Nose Day. There were plenty of cakes baked by students and staff across both Oldfield Park and York Place sites.
For one day only, students were allowed to wear bright red lipstick!
Christmas box donation
In the run-up to Christmas, Norland student Lucy Rainsford coordinated Norland’s contribution of 26 boxes filled with presents for children and families who are struggling around Christmas time. The boxes were donated to the charity Link to Hope, which sent over 800,000 shoeboxes to Eastern Europe last year. This year, the charity hopes to help more families in need.
Red Box Project donation
The creation of a red box for local school donations and a Facebook page for the Red Box Project, which campaigns to raises awareness of period poverty and donates sanitary products to young girls who would otherwise miss school.
Minerva’s Owls of Bath
In the summer of 2018 we participated in the Minerva Owls of Bath sculpture trail. Our owl, named Emily after our founder Emily Ward, was designed by a local artist named Vera. Emily had a prime spot throughout the summer, positioned outside the Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, where she was one of the main attractions on the trail. In October, we were delighted to secure Emily at the charity auction, which raised a total of almost £140,000 for Bath-based charities. We’re delighted that Emily has now permanently nested at Norland College.
Little Princess Trust hair donation
Norland student Charlotte Tasquier donated approximately 16 inches of hair to the Little Princess Trust. Her donation of hair will be used to create a free wig for a child who has lost their hair due to cancer or another illness.
