Pupils have lots to be proud of

MAY I take the opportunity through your letters page as chairman of governors of Blackwood Comprehensive School, to thank the pupils of the school who took part in a recent non-uniform day to raise an outstanding sum of £674.76 for the charity Llamau, who are Wales leading homeless charity, working with homeless and potentially homeless young people and vulnerable women across Wales. 
Over the years Blackwood Comprehensive School has forged close links with Llamau who work closely with the school by delivering lessons on topics such as domestic abuse and with families in the local community. The pupils hope to raise even more funds next year by staging a sleep out. Well done to all involved.
