Ashgrove PS to help families affected by cancer.

Our school community has been deeply affected by cancer in recent years.

The children in Ashgrove are central to everything we do and not only do we want to support our colleagues and families who are living with cancer, but we want to ensure that the pupils in our care have as much love and support as we can provide during the difficult circumstances that cancer can bring to a household.

One of our staff has chosen to support Cancer Focus and a group of them will be running the Belfast Marathon on the 1st May. This is to raise money for this fantastic charity and help support them in providing this much needed service to the many families affected by cancer. The charity work to provide support through everything from one to one counselling to art therapy. The charity members involved with our colleague have guided not only her, but also her young children and husband through some very difficult times.

We want to show our support in a meaningful way for all the families in Ashgrove who are living with cancer. We hope you will join us to raise funds for this fantastic charity, who help so many in their fight against a disease that can impact on everyone of us.
