Chloe Hillier, Chew Valley School, Year 12 (Lower Sixth), who was sponsored by The Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge, on the RYLA Course this year, completed a sponsored run in the Bristol 10k and raised £440 for Water Survival Box. The photograph shows Rotarian Ken Biggs accepting the cheque from Chloe on behalf of the Water Survival Box Charity.
RYLA events are for young people aged 16 to 17 years, who are about to start their working lives or to enter higher education, and who have shown leadership potential and are likely, as adults, to become future leaders. Students are put into mixed groups of complementary ability where they take part in outdoor activities. They are placed in challenging situations to help develop leadership and team bonding skills and to increase personal confidence.
