Summerhill Charity event

This year Summerhill decided to help the charity BEAT by having a ‘Sock IT Day’ on Friday 28^th February.   

Sock It To Eating Disorders is BEAT’s fundraising campaign which took place during Eating Disorder Awareness week, which was from the 24^th February to the 2^nd March.  Friday 28^th February was ‘Sock IT Day’ - we wore crazy socks or tights with our school uniform. Students helped us by paying £1 to join in and wear crazy socks or tights to school.  

 

BEAT is a charity that supports people who are affected by eating disorders and they are aiming to change the way everyone thinks about them. Last year BEAT ran support groups, blogs and help-lines and had direct contact with 250,000 individuals. Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses affecting 1.6 million people in the UK- they claim more lives than any other mental illness but can be treatable and recovery is possible with the help of BEAT.
