Cake Cakes Charities Fairy Fundraisers Fundraising Girls Sale Sell
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from 1987, ten-year-old Sarah Hanson takes center stage as she serves customer Mrs. Irena Wegrzyn at a bring and buy sale organized at St John C of E school in Golcar. Assisting her with enthusiasm is fellow pupil Yvonne Eastwood. This event was not just any ordinary sale; it was a fundraising effort initiated by Sarah herself, with the help of 34 nine, ten, and eleven-year-olds from the school. Their goal? To raise money for the Blue Peter Sightsaver appeal, which aimed to provide eye treatments in third world countries. The atmosphere captured in this image is one of joy and determination as these young girls take on their roles as entrepreneurs for a good cause. With an array of delicious cakes displayed on the table before them, they eagerly serve customers while wearing fairy wings that add an extra touch of whimsy to the occasion. Their hard work paid off handsomely, as proceeds from their efforts amounted to more than £90 - no small feat for children so young! This snapshot showcases not only their commitment to helping others but also highlights the power of education and community involvement at such a tender age. Decades later, this photograph continues to remind us of the importance of charity work and how even small actions can make a significant impact on those less fortunate around the world.
