Charity

Haydonleigh loves to help!

At Haydonleigh, we are extremely proud of our charity fund raising and as a community, we have raised large sums of money for a wide range of worthy causes.

Each year we plan a timetable of events that support local, national and international charities. We ask children, families and staff for their ideas and select organisations that are significant to us all.

Please see this years timetable of events below.

21 May 2025 - Young Minds

Give Haydonleigh a Hug for Young Minds

We had a wonderful day raising money for the ‘Young Minds’ charity. The children arrived in clothes that made them feel happy – we had a fine array of pyjamas, fancy dress, party clothes and even Christmas jumpers! The children explored lots of activities that helped with mental well-being and self-care, including mindfulness, singing together and ‘walk and talk’ sessions. We all gathered outside at 10.30am to create a giant hug around the school building – managing to reach all the way round! The sun came out just in time to make it extra special. We raised an amazing £550. Thanks to everyone for the generous donations for such an important charity.
