Albyn pupil raising money for Duthie Park wheelchair access swing



If you were wondering around the school at break time today you would have come across Georgia (S5), her army of helpers and an incredible amount of traybakes and sweet treats, enough to feed the entire school.

Today the school community was celebrating our first Feel Good Friday of the year, ‘Feeling Charitable,’ and as part of this we found Georgia setting up her bake sale to raise money for a wheelchair access swing in Duthie Park.

When Georgia learned about the lack of wheelchair accessible equipment at Duthie Park she decided to explore ways of how she could help.

“My dad is a member of the Bon Accord Rotary Club and they were raising money for the same cause so that’s how I found out about it and I thought it was a really great idea. Going on the swings when I was younger was my favourite thing and I think everyone, no matter what their ability is, should be able to enjoy that,” she shared.

“At the moment there is not a lot of equipment available for wheelchair users so I’m trying to raise money to allow children in wheelchairs to have fun in the park as well.”

This isn’t the first time Georgia has organised a fundraiser within the school community…

“I’ve been doing a couple of different things to raise money. Before Christmas I went to the ASPA Christmas Fair at the school. I had made my own Christmas baubles and was selling them to raise money. I’m now organising a bake sale in school this week, and will see what else I can do beyond that.”

Georgia’s bake sale highlights that even small acts of kindness can help to make a big difference. We wish her well with all her fundraising efforts and the school will support her in any way we can.
