The Lucy Rayner Foundation
Hazelwood School proudly partners with The Lucy Rayner Foundation, which provides valuable support for young peoples’ mental health and wellbeing.
The Lucy Rayner Foundation aims to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of mental ill health in young people and provides counselling in a timely manner, allowing them to receive vital support when they most need it. It also provides training to schools to help teachers identify signs of mental health issues, enabling them to provide support with anxiety, low self-esteem, peer pressure and anger management.
Recently, our school community dressed in their own clothes for ‘Mufti for Mindfulness’ to raise money for the charity. To find out more about how this amazing charity supports young people, or to make a donation, please follow the link below.
Supporting Local Initiatives
In addition to our partnership with The Lucy Rayner Foundation, we are also committed to giving back to other community initiatives and charities.
Community Fund Grant
In early 2023, we awarded a Community Fund Grant to Edenbridge Primary School. The money directly helped pupils to buy new school rucksacks, new uniform and help fund places on a residential trip, which the pupils would not otherwise have been able to afford to participate in.
The Giving Project
At the end of 2023, Year 5 launched a new initiative called The Giving Project. So far, pupils have made and sold Christmas gifts and donated the money to the local food bank and also baked over 400 cookies and distributed them to three local care homes in the Oxted and Godstone area. More recently, pupils made Easter crafts to give away as random acts of kindness around Oxted and at East Surrey Hospital.
As I walked into hospital to start work, I had a wonderful greeting. A polite young man handed me a beautiful cross stitch card of a rainbow and a chocolate egg. I was very happy to receive these kind gifts and it gave me an extra bounce in my step.
