A COLWYN Bay school is holding a trio of events to raise money for two care homes.

Rydal Penrhos school’s Sixth Form Charity Committee have organised a series of events , with all proceeds raised will go towards Merton Place in Colwyn Bay and Coed Craig in Rhos-on-Sea.

The group - which led by year 12 pupils Morgan Kendall and Lara Pyves - would like to buy an awning or sail that could cover an outdoor space for Merton Place, while and would like to help improve Coed Craig's garden facilities with the proceeds

Morgan said: “Both care homes have been closed to relatives and visitors since the start of the Covid-19 lockdown, and this has inevitably caused issues surrounding the safety and wellbeing of residents and carers.

“Neither home currently has the funding to provide additional aspects of care for residents in this difficult period.”

The Committee will be running a Virtual Talent Show, which involves submitting a video showcasing a particular skill no more than two minutes long.

Entries close on Friday, July 3 at 4pm and can include music, art, drama, acting, animation or “anything in between”.

Director of Music Pete Williams, Head of Art Mark Sherrington and English & Drama teacher Fiona Earle will be judging the submissions.

The winners will be sent a gift card and could potentially be posted onto Rydal Penrhos’ social media channels.

A 'Virtual Quiz' is also scheduled to take place on June 26 during form period. This will see everyone come together in pursuit of winning the prize for their respective form group.

The final event will be a 'Sponsored Sports Challenge', which will be taking place over the next few weeks, the last of the academic year. This can involve any sport of the participant’s choosing and they must seek sponsors for their efforts.
