A CHARITY concert organised by sixth-year pupils at Wellington School has raised over &pound2000.
Every year, senior pupils at Wellington select a charity they will support during their last year at school. This year, pupils chose the Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer. Head boy Michael Foyle explained: “Every day in the UK, six teenagers or young adults find out they have cancer, which is approximately 2,100 new cases a year. “These young people suddenly find themselves faced with a possible life-threatening illness, and Teenage Cancer Trust can really help them at this difficult time. “As we are all teenagers, this charity is especially close to our hearts.” Performers were Michael Foyle himself on violin and piano, Ross Martin (vocal solo) former pupil Sacha Pieroni (vocal solo) Claire Taylor and Jennifer Wood (vocal duet) the Madrigal Group Josh MacLeod (vocal solo) the senior choir and Emma Storm and Ross Martin (vocal duet).
Head girl Abby Brown added: “The concert was a great success and was great fun.
