Children in Need – Friday 13th November 2026

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are delighted to announce that Norton College Worcester will be supporting Children in Need on Friday 13th November with a day of fundraising, fun and physical activity.  We are asking students and staff to wear pyjamas to support this good cause.

We are particularly excited to welcome Elliott Webb from Hereford & Worcester Radio, who will be running a half marathon for 5 consecutive days.  On Friday 13th November @9.00, he will be starting his half marathon run from Norton College Worcester as part of the day’s events.  We are also thrilled that Pudsey Bear will be visiting the college with Elliott Webb.

As a college community, we will be taking on our own challenge by completing a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles over the course of the day.  Students will have the opportunity to contribute by running or walking on the treadmill to help us reach our target.  We hope this will be a fantastic way for everyone to get involved while promoting physical activity and teamwork.

We would like to invite students to seek sponsorship from family and friends for their participation.  All money raised will be donated to Children in Need, helping to support disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

We are looking forward to a memorable day and thank you in advance for your support in helping us raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile cause.

Yours sincerely

Mark Pigford
