Each year our Big October Cake Bake is a wonderful opportunity for our amazing supporters to raise money for Children on the Edge by making, eating and sharing delicious cakes and bakes. This year was no different, and we’re grateful to everyone who took part in making it such a success. During Refugee Week 2024, St James' Primary School in Emsworth hosted an inspiring Enterprise Day to support Children on the Edge, raising nearly £400. Each class, from the youngest Puffins to the oldest Orcas, created and managed stalls from homemade crafts to games and refreshments. The day showcased the students' creativity and generosity, embodying the school's ethos that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
