Banbridge Academy Students Raise £500 for Rotary International Shelterbox

Members of the Banbridge  Rotary Club visited the school recently to offer their heartfelt thanks to the staff and pupils of Banbridge Academy for their generosity in raising £500 for a shelterbox through their charity collections.   The shelterbox contains a 10-man tent, cooking utensils, a stove, sleeping bags. a water purification system and much more. The shelterboxes are distributed around the globe in events such as natural disasters, earthquakes, floods or humanitarian crisis.  Each box can sustain a family by providing shelter to those who have lost their home for up to two years.
