Trinity Parents’ Association donates £9,000 to Breck Foundation

04 Aug 2017

Over 850 members of the Trinity School community celebrated the end of another school year at the Trinity Proms last weekend.

Governors, parents, staff, pupils, friends and neighbours gathered on the School field and picnicked whilst listening to live music provided by its talented pupils, including Trinity’s Big Band, their Jazz Octet, and Trinity Musician of the Year Joe Mackley.

The evening also featured West End stars George Maguire (Olivier Award Winner, Sunny Afternoon) and Rachael Wooding (We Will Rock You; The Jersey Boys; Cats), alongside Adam Sopp (Casualty; Lucky Man; Father Brown) and guest dancers Dean Williamson (Coronation Street) and Anna Skye (Darling Buds of May).

The fabulous sum of £9,000, raised by the Trinity Parents’ Association (TPA), was donated to The Breck Foundation, which works to raise awareness of playing safe whilst using the internet, and a cheque for £5,000 was given to the school’s Malawi Project in partnership with Hope4Malawi.

The evening also marked the end of Trinity Parent Phoebe Benedict’s tenure as the event’s artistic manager.

The Trinity Proms fireworks at the end of the evening brought to a close another amazing year at the School.

Nicola Wyllie, Chair of the Trinity Parents’ Association, said: “The Trinity Proms is always such a special event bringing the entire Trinity community together to celebrate the school year, and this year was no exception. The sun shone and it was wonderful see young and old enjoying the music, dancing and being amazed by the fireworks.”

A Trinity student also commented: “It’s been such a brilliant evening with wonderful music and fantastic fireworks – a great way to round off the year!”
