www.sportrelief.com/savethedate Last year thousands of schools and nurseries across the country got involved with
Sport Relief; from running a sponsored-mile to taking part in a 24 hour badminton tournament. Everyone had a great time and raised a staggering £6 million in the process. Michelle Golan, from Childs Hill Primary School in North London, sees Sport Relief
as a great way for her pupils to learn about the wider world: ‘Our school believes it is extremely important to support Sport Relief; our pupils
always have lots of fun and work together to help improve the lives of those less fortunate than us. The materials produced by Comic Relief are really useful and inspiring, and help our pupils to see how their contributions can help change the lives of others forever’. Money raised by schools and nurseries for Sport Relief will help people living
unimaginably tough lives on your doorstep in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries. So put the date, Friday 18th March, in the diary today and order your free Fundraising Event Pack today from:

South Birmingham MP Steve McCabe joined pupils and teachers from 23 primary schools at an event designed to celebrate healthy living. Held at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, the event brought together
representatives from primary schools across South Birmingham to showcase a range of activities currently taking place as part of the Health for Life in primary schools programme. Steve McCabe, Selly Oak MP, said: “It is wonderful to see teachers and
pupils come together to celebrate their healthy living achievements. The displays by the school children are excellent and they show a real understanding of sustaining a healthy lifestyle in and outside of school.” The Health for Life programme, which is currently running in primary and
secondary schools, as well as in various locations across the community, is funded by the Mondelez International Foundation, and delivered by the
