Social Action Week

About

Social Action Week (SAW) is a week in the summer term, usually May, where all Year 12 students raise money and awareness for charities they choose themselves - from local shelters to international aid organisations.

It builds social awareness, encourages community engagement, and raises thousands of pounds each year for important causes in the community and beyond.
