Pupils from across Bolton School Primary Division, overseen by teacher Mrs Julia Marsden, led last weekend’s service at Bank Top United Reformed Church in Bolton. Their voices blended together in harmony as they sang, led prayers and readings and shared their vision with the congregation about their Malawi school fundraising campaign. They spoke too of their desire to let their light shine throughout the world.
Bank Top Church has, over the past few years, worked in collaboration with Bolton School to support Mrs Marsden’s fundraising endeavour to build a school in Malawi for orphaned street children. They have held concerts, cake sales and afternoon teas to help raise funds for the project.
Mrs Marsden is attempting to raise £50,000 in order to build a school, her work being inspired by several trips to Malawi since 2017. Over £23,000 has been raised so far and there is a wide range of activities planned at Bolton School in the coming months which will raise more funds. Anyone wishing to support the cause can make donations to Bolton School.
