We applied to Variety for a new minibus in March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As our school has grown, we needed another minibus so that our students, particularly the older ones, have an opportunity to explore the wider community. They need to develop their independence skills outside the classroom. This bus will enable them to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount raised by PSA (Friends of Oakwood) was \u00a317,275.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other two thirds was sponsored by Daz\u2019s Rock 4 Charity and The Rowlands Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The money has been raised through donations from various businesses, including MV Kelly, Palletways, RSK Transport, NA Cars, Morgan\u2019s Caf\u00e9 & Midland Block & JJ as well as personal donations from parents and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the money has been raised through events such as sponsored swim, sponsored mountain climb (Ben Nevis and Snowden), Duke of Edinburgh Award, Summer Fayre, Sponsored Wheel-a-thon and various raffles. Our final donation came from Lorraine Thompson, Head of Virtual School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
