ARTHUR Bugler Primary School was buzzing with excitement as the Stanford and Corringham community came together to attend a fundraising quiz organised by the twenty children taking on the TCS Mini London Marathon Mission.

The school hall was packed to capacity as friends and families of the twenty Mini Marathoners joined forces to back the young athletes. The event was a powerful demonstration of community spirit, with every seat filled by supporters eager to help the children reach their fundraising goal.

Organised and hosted by the children themselves, the quiz transformed the school into a hub of energy and generosity. The evening was a resounding success, raising a phenomenal £825. These funds will go toward the school's PTA to ensure further opportunities and experiences for all children who attend the school. To date, the children's incredible efforts have helped raise just over £4,000 for the school!

Mrs Lucy Cordell, the teacher at Arthur Bugler responsible for the Mini Marathon adventure, said: "It was so lovely to see so much support in the room for these incredible children. There is something truly special about the heart of Arthur Bugler Primary; it's more than just a school, it's a family. Seeing the community rally together like this, with so much generosity and support, shows our Mini Marathoners that they have everyone cheering them on every step of the way. Arthur Bugler really is an incredible place for children to grow and realise they can truly make a difference."

The success of the night provides a significant boost to the group as they enter the final stages of their preparation. On Saturday (25 April), they will take on the TCS Mini London Marathon, running part of the iconic TCS London Marathon route, right past Buckingham Palace and crossing the official finish line on The Mall.
