Charity PJ Week Meningitis Research Foundation
Charity Pyjama Week
Each year we hold a Charity Pyjama Week. As well as adding an element of fun to our lessons, our Pyjama Parties are a vital element of our teaching. If accidents happen, often it's when fully clothed. We strongly believe that it's our duty to ensure that our swimmers know what it feels like to be in water while wearing clothes. Even just this short experience will help them to realise that even though they feel heavier, they can still do those all important reactions of turning, kicking to the surface and reaching for the side. The best bit is, they do all of this whilst still having lots of fun.
This year, we hope to have the most successful Charity Pyjama Week ever! We are so excited to be holding this event again and for some of you it might be your first time. We have chosen a charity partner this year based on the frightening experience a family in our Puddle Ducks community had, and subsequently the support they received from this organisation.
Meningitis Research Foundation is the world’s leading meningitis charity, driven by a passionate mission to prevent its devastating impact.
Angelica, one of our Splashers, contracted Meningitis at only 8 weeks old. It was, to say the least, an anxious and lonely time for the family and the Meningitis Research Foundation provided much needed support, advice and information. Angelica's Mummy, Georgina is now an Ambassador for the charity and we hope to raise vital funds to aid further research and to make sure other families receive the support they need.
There are a number of ways you can support this fantastic charity:
