We are a group of parents, teachers and friends of Neville's Cross Primary School who organise a range of sponsored activities to raise funds for the school to benefit the children and local community. We are raising money to build a MUGA (multi use games area) on part of the school field. Neville's Cross primary school is over 100 years old and the number of pupils is growing every year due to increased housing in Durham City. The school yard is increasingly crowded and the field is waterlogged for a large part of the year restricting outdoor play and learning opportunities.The Neville's Cross Battlers was set up in 2015 by four parents who successfully swam the English Channel on 31st July 2016. The logo and team name was designed by children at the school as part of a competition. The Battlers are now supporting others who want to achieve their goals be it sporting or otherwise.

Framlingham College is a charity we exist to provide pupils of the College and the local Community the opportunity to benefit from the facilities within the grounds of Brandeston Hall Preparatory School and Framlingham College. Reinvigoration of the heart of the College There is a clear and compelling need to develop our educational facilities at the heart of the College. We have exciting plans to re-vitalise the centre of the College as well as build a greatly needed sixth form and careers centre at the College. Sixth Form education is an increasingly competitive area and we must ensure that our students receive the very best opportunities and facilities. We intend to improve facilities for teaching especially in the areas of Business, Economics and Psychology, to enhance the resources for Universities and Careers advice. This is an increasingly complex area where parents look to schools for expert guidance.To complete this plan a modern sixth form resource centre,library and social centre will ensure we remain dynamic and forward thinking. Whilst Framlingham is not a specialist Learning Support school, we have a fine reputation in this area and it is important to provide proper facilities in the right place. Our current resources are limited, and are on the top floor of the main building. This department needs dedicated and easily accessible space, and we intend to bring it into the heart of the school. Demonstrating our commitment to this development programme, work has already been completed on the building of a second astroturf, therefore all College hockey will be able to be played on Astroturf. Brandeston Hall will have far greater access to our facilities. This will enhance our profile and reputation amongst other prep schools and elsewhere. The College will be able to host national and regional competitions at all age groups. In addition to the astroturf, we are building and redeveloping the current cricket pavilion which will incorporate further changing areas and facilities for the leisure centre within the grounds to give benefit not only to the school but to the local community. We wish to ensure excellence in the 21st Century by developing our facilities to ensure all our pupils have the best start in life possible.

At the core of CMCPT is the exchange of pupils and teachers between communities in Somerset, UK and the town of Mufulira at the heart of the Copperbelt in Zambia. Mufulira is a town that owes its existence to the discovery of copper by the British in 1923 and the subsequent mining and smelting which has continued ever since. The relationship between UK visitors and citizens of Mufulira in recent years has led to many practical outcomes. Amos - 13 years - From the 'Climate Crew' at Mine Primary School On the surface, the exchange of cultures and making of long-lasting friendships has permeated every layer of both communities and has been the catalyst for practical advancements in Mufulira. An example of this is the promise given in 2012 by the mine-owners to reduce excessive levels of sulphur emissions to World Health Organisation (WHO) standards, by an investment of $145mln in sulphur capture equipment. This is due to be completed by January 1st 2014. Over the last 4 years the CMCPT has benefited from its relationship and continuing support from The Minor Metals Trade Association, based in London. Ansford Academy/Mufulira High School This founding exchange has been running for 20 years and has successfully linked over 100 students. The school's last exchange focused on the mine and its impact on the local community and wider world. These trips show our young people what it is like to live next to a copper mine as well as gain an insight into how resources, taken for granted in our consumer society, are produced. The Zambian students on their visit to the UK, live within our community; share daily life, attend classes at their partner schools and compare and contrast ways in which each community works - for example, quarrying and recycling - two activities which are analagous in each community. In March 2014 the next exchange groups were selected. The groups are now beginning the huge task of fundraising to make the exchange visits in 2015 a reality. All students at both schools will be involved in joint school projects with the students travelling acting as ambassadors for their schools. Sexey's School/MCM Mufulira Trust School The first student exchange between the two schools took place in July 2013 with ten students and two teachers travelling from Mufulira to Sexey's in Bruton. The theme of the visit was 'Land, Livelihood and Leisure' and students also visited a local primary school where they told traditional stories and demonstrated traditional Zambian cookery. Ten students from Sexey's will travel to Mufulira in July 2014. The students are currently making preparations for their visits to primary schools and a presentation on local environmental issues. They are also looking forward to meeting up with friends and experiencing life in a culture different to their own. Primary School Partnerships A number of strong partnerships exist between primary schools in Mufulira and Somerset. The primary school pupils share and collaborate on joint projects, write letters to each other and have been able to Skype and send videos about their lives. The projects aim to develop an understanding and appreciation of the pupil's own communities, recognise their place and relationship with the wider world and consider ideas and issues beyond their own daily lives. Community Partnerships and Links In 1978 the Diocese of Bath and Wells linked with the Zambian Anglican Church and this has resulted in several local churches having links with churches in Mufulira. Hospitals, Rotary Clubs, Guides, Brownies, Town Councils and other community groups have all been involved in valuable linking activities between the two communities.
