The compassionate and determined pupils of Year 6 at St. Peter’s CE Primary School, Hixon have once again proven that age is no barrier to making a meaningful difference.

On Saturday, November 8th, these young change-makers rolled up their sleeves and hosted a heartwarming Charity Car Wash, raising over £250 to support Katharine House Hospice, a local charity dedicated to helping those affected by cancer.

This inspiring initiative follows their successful Macmillan Coffee Morning held in September, where the children first began their mission to support individuals and families impacted by cancer. Motivated to do even more, the pupils took it upon themselves to learn more about local organisations making a difference. Their journey led them to invite nurses from Katharine House to speak about the incredible care and support they provide. Moved by their stories, the children were inspired to take action.

With buckets, sponges, and big smiles, the Year 6 team transformed their school car park into a hub of generosity and community spirit. Parents, staff, and local residents came together to support the event, leaving not only with sparkling cars but also with hearts full of admiration for the pupils’ dedication.

“This is just the beginning,” said one of the Year 6 pupils. “We want to keep going and raise even more money to help people in our community.”

The school is incredibly proud of its students, who have shown empathy, leadership, and a deep commitment to making the world a better place.

Plans are already busy planning future fundraising events, and the children’s enthusiasm shows no signs of slowing down.

St. Peter’s CE Primary School, Hixon invites the community to continue supporting these young heroes as they work towards their ambitious goals.

Together, we can help them turn compassion into action and hope into healing.
