Emily is in the paper!

Our very own Emily Johnson from Redwood class has made it into the Romford Recorder this week due to her fantastic raffle in aid of Queen's hospital. Emily nearly lost her life aged 7 due to complications when she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and was saved by the dedicated medical teams at King George hospital.



On Saturday, this jar of 5p coins (which Emily's dad has collected over the years) will be raffled off at Dagenham Football Stadium between 7pm-10pm to raise as much money as possible. Emily has already raised £370 and hopes to increase this to £700.



I'd like to raise as much money as possible for the people who are currently in hospital especially as it's Christmas and it's not nice to be in hospital during this time.
Emily, Redwood

Well done Emily- what a wonderful idea to raise money!
