We need fun, brightly coloured UV safe sail shades to protect our children from the sunshine and rain during their valuable play outside.

About this cause

We raise money for The Dawnay School which is a small primary school with 230 children in Bookham. The Friends (mainly parents of children at the school) have for many years been working to raised funds through cake sales, school fairs etc to buy the children a new climbing frame. We finally achieved our goal earlier this year - however the school desperately needs shade for the children in the playground so the funding offered would go towards buying brightly coloured sail shades to put around the school play areas to protect from the sun and the rain. Our objectives as the Friends of the Dawnay are to make the children's time at the school as enjoyable and rewarding as possible and to be involved in raising funds in many different ways. We regularly raise money for charitable causes.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The Dawnay is the oldest primary school in Bookham and is highly regarded by the community as an extremely caring and nurturing place for young children to attend. The effects of UV rays on our skin are damaging and potentially life threatening so by having the UV sail shades in the play grounds and parent waiting areas they would provide welcome relief from standing in open sunshine and rain.
