As part of the upcoming Crew Day on Monday 12th May, G31 students will participate in a fundraising effort to support Walk2Water. This event will take place at Gateshead International Stadium from our arrival at around 9am, until departure after lunch time. Families are also welcome to come and support students’ efforts and cheer on students should they wish! Please be aware seating is not guaranteed.
This will build on the phenomenal efforts of our G28 cohort who have already raised close to half the target to allow the charity to set up a water well on behalf of XP Gateshead for a community in need. We are asking families and friends of XP Gateshead to support the efforts of G31 to help us reach the required total by donating, if they can, using the Enthuse platform linked here.
Students will start school at the regular time. We will be travelling to the stadium on foot and by metro and returning during the school day so students will finish at the regular time of 3.15pm.
Children will need a packed lunch for the day. We can provide packed lunches to children that usually have free school meals – requests will need to be passed to crew leaders for this.
The weather forecast at the moment is humid but cloudy, though we’d ask all students to come prepared for all weathers including rain.
Students will need:
- Their regular kit for the day including their water bottle.
- Suncream
- Comfortable trainer style shoes such as what is worn for PE for walking distance on the running track.
- Appropriate clothing for the weather, including a waterproof jacket or top and sun hat
- A packed lunch and any additional snacks if required.
