On 25 May we brought you news of the fantastic fundraising achievements of UIV1 who raised an amazing £1250 for Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. On Friday the girls were delighted to welcome Caroline Kehoe, a representative from the charity, to Pipers so that they could present her with a cheque for the amount raised.

The girls raised the money through lunchtime fundraising and by completing a 15 mile sponsored bike ride. Click here for more details.
