Granton Primary: Supporting charity for a better world

The world in which we raise our children is burdened by many issues. Thanks to the hard work of many visionaries and pioneers, there are many charities that face these challenges and support worthy causes. Granton Primary aims to help such charities in their daily strife for a better world.

One of the charities we are happy to support is Brake. This road safety organisation aims to lower the number of needless deaths and severe physical and mental traumas caused daily by road accidents. Ultimately, Brake wants to create secure roads and communities, in which driving –or even crossing the street- is safe for us and our children.

Through national campaigns and community education, Break promotes road safety awareness. But their efforts go even further: they also offer support to people affected by road death or injury. Brake was founded in the UK, and now operates globally.

Granton Primary is also a proud supporter of the Mind charity. For the past six decades, Mind has worked in England and Wales, supporting people with mental health problems. Their services include expert advice through their crisis helplines, as well as practical help in the form of supported housing, employment and training schemes, and drop-in centres. Their many campaigns aim to raise awareness and promote a deeper understanding of mental illness.

The NSPCC is yet another organization, we are proud to support. They are invested in the fight against child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. NSPCC aims to prevent abuse, stand by the victims and their families, and fight to improve legislation.

By aiding these organisations, we believe that we set a socially conscious example for our students. The message of these charities is that this world can change for the better. Granton Primary encourages its students to be a part of the change!
