Week four of Miles For Ukraine
On April 5, we achieved our 1,775 mile target, and the new challenge became making the return journey back to Barry.
As of today, we have collectively travelled 2,337.34 miles on our virtual journey to Ukraine. Only 1,212 miles to go!
Your donations and fundraising efforts have so far raised £1,559.
Since the war broke out, schools from across the Vale have organised a range of fundraising events, including cake sales, sponsored cycle rides, donation collections, wrist band sales, sponsored silences, and blue and yellow themed clothing days.
