Staff at Sandbrook Community Primary School have gone the extra mile for a fantastic local cause. They have raised an impressive £4,400 for local charity Jolly Josh. On Saturday 7th November, the Sandbrook team embarked on a magnificent 12-mile fundraising walk, organised by Simon Harthill to support the charity.
The walk brought together staff from across the Watergrove community. Each of the trust’s nine schools serving as a checkpoint along the way. At every stop, walkers were welcomed with refreshments, encouragement and plenty of good vibes to keep spirits high.
KH Flooring generously sponsored the event by providing t-shirts. They said: “It’s been a pleasure supporting the amazing Sandbrook staff and helping raise money for such a special local charity! You all did absolutely fantastic today, well done!”
Several other fundraising activities boosted the 12-mile walk, including JustGiving donations, a successful Smarties challenge and a school raffle. This helped the team raise more than £4,400 in total.
Jolly Josh supports children and young people aged 0-19 who live with complex medical needs and physical disabilities. Its mission is to provide a nurturing environment, where children, their parents, carers and siblings can thrive together. Through a range of play, social, and hydrotherapy-based sessions, the charity enriches lives, builds connections, and helps everyone to reach their full potential.
The Final Push to £5,000
The team set an ambitious fundraising target of £5,000. With more than £4,400 already raised, they are well on their way to achieving it. Every donation will make a valuable difference to this special local charity and the families it supports.
The incredible team of staff made this remarkable achievement possible. Thank you also to everyone who supported the walkers, organised activities, sponsored the event or made a donation.
You can help the team reach its £5,000 target via the JustGiving page (before Friday 20 November 2026).
A huge well done and thank you to everyone involved!
