A PUPIL from Warminster School has decided to base her Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) on the Walking With The Wounded Team to raise awareness of the charity.

Sixth-former Charlotte Brumby was inspired to help the charity, which supports wounded veterans, after they stayed at the school last year.

The WWTW Team and support crew ‘boarded’ at Warminster School overnight on day 46 of their 1,000 mile challenge and gave a thought-provoking presentation to pupils, parents and staff who had come along to support.

Charlotte said: “I wanted to use my EPQ time wisely by supporting something I felt strongly about. I enjoyed meeting the inspirational WWTW team when they visited Warminster on their Walk Of Britain Expedition last year and it inspired me to do something more.

“I am organising a fundraising Gala Dinner to highlight awareness for and about the good work that WWTW is involved in.

“The Gala Dinner will be held on the September 16 and I am delighted that Edward Parker, the co-founder of WWTW, has agreed to be the Guest of Honour.

“I hope to organise an enjoyable evening for everyone with as much of the proceeds as possible going towards WWTW.”

The EPQ is a substantial piece of individual work which can be in the form of a dissertation, extensive investigation, artefact, performance or event.

CEO of the charity Edward Parker said: “I am always thrilled when a first contact with our beneficiaries inspires a fund-raising initiative like this.

“Charlotte’s efforts are hugely appreciated and I am very much looking forward to being at this super Gala Dinner on September 16.

“With the money raised, we will be able to continue to do the vital work we are doing to support them back into the workplace after they leave the military.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone supporting Charlotte to organise her dinner, and good luck.”
