Our Visit To Browick Road

This morning we visited Browick Road for our Campaign research. We leaved Wymondham High School at 9.00 this morning and made our way to Browick Road. Our visit started with Ellie and Elliot  introducing us, who we were, and why we are visiting. Elliot, Ellie, Holly and Ryan then performed a scene about the Red Cross Charity, and what they do. Jacob, Cathy, Sam and Laura then did a performance about what you give to a charity shop. They imitated toys sitting on a young boys shelf, the 'toys' showed that they were lonely and they wanted playing with as Sam hadn't played with them for a long time. They then suggested that they should be donated to charity, therefore, Sam doesn't have to throw the toys in the bin, while raising money for children.

After the performances we split into our different groups, and went to the three different classes. We did a number of activities with the children to help them understand what charity is. After finishing the workshops the children's feedback was that they will defiantly donate more items to charity and they want to be able to share their things more with other people.

I think our Campaign work has been successful, but not as successful as I thought it might have been. For instance, I think our point came across quite well to the pupils of Browick Road and they're more aware of what charity means, not just for them but for other people to. But the Campaign didn't go as well as I hoped because nobody from Wymondham High School donated anything. I think this is because we didn't advertise the collection enough. This could be helped by putting leaflets in each register for every form. We could of also performed a presentation in an assembly, but the trouble with that is that nobody wanted to perform in front of such a big audience.

Over all we didn't do very well in collecting donations for Charity but we made a great deal of contribution to spreading the awareness of Charity, what they do, and who it helps.
