Following in famous footsteps

STUDENTS and staff from Badminton School visited Ronald McDonald House Bristol to hand over more than £2,000 they had raised.

The money  came from events in school and from a team of staff who took part in the Great Bristol Run.

The school’s donation will help Ronald McDonald House continue its mission of offering free accommodation and a supportive environment to families with children receiving care at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.

Ronald McDonald House Charities was founded by Dr Audrey Evans, a pioneering paediatric oncologist and Badminton alumna who attended the school before the Second World War. 

This historic connection added special significance to the school’s fundraising efforts.
