Portsmouth News reports that kids at St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School took part in the creation of 250 paper flowers in a project to help the charity.<\/p>\n
Children wrapped coins – which will be given to Help for Heroes – in paper flowers and these were used to mark a path leading to the school's payer garden. The activity was linked to the school's art and DT week.<\/p>\n
The school thought about the charity collectively as part of an assembly, after which children went outside and planted their flowers on the pathway, teacher Kathryn Adams explained to the news provider.<\/p>\n
After they planted flowers, children gave thought to people who fight for their country.<\/p>\n
"When we were planning the project over half-term, the flowers reminded us of the poppies of the First World War and those celebrations, but we thought that the Help for Heroes charity was a bit more current for the children in the school," teacher Jenny Beard commented to The News.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Forfar Dispatch reports that a local fundraising event at an Asda supermarket brought in £1,178 for Help for Heroes during a three day collection.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the news provider, Kenny McAulay, who organised the collection, pinpointed some donors for special mentions.<\/p>\n
He explained, for example, that one man saw he didn't have much change and hadn't brought his wallet with him, so decided to go home then return "with a lovely donation".<\/p>\n
The charity provides help for wounded service people and those people's families. One of its current fundraising activities is the 'Bear-B-Q' project, encouraging people to hold charity barbecues.<\/p>\n
People help the charity in a huge number of different, often creative ways, and these efforts are often to be seen making headlines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
