“We raised the money by organising an assembly for the main school and hand­ ing out envelopes for a collection. The charity was chosen because several CRGS students have been to Romania with the Pen­ dle group. The activity was part of the Liverpool Un iv ersity Curriculum Enrichment Programme, which encourages students


to develop communication, team and problem-solving


skills.” Other CRGS groups on


the same programme investigated local sporting and leisure facilites, public transport locally and the different methods of stress relief and relaxation. Our picture shows, the

course, entrants were


rewarded with a certifi­ cate and hot soup and

years members have raised £1,400, funds w h i c h h a v e b e e n
