Woolwich Poly Community Raises £2,716.92 for Hurricane Melissa Relief Fund

When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, many of our staff, students, and families were directly impacted. In true Woolwich Poly spirit, our community came together with compassion, creativity, and generosity to make a difference.

On 14th November, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls hosted a vibrant fundraiser filled with Bob Marley’s music, joyful dancing, and unity in green, gold, and black. This event raised £465, alongside further family contributions.

On 26th November, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys held “A Taste of Jamaica” - an extraordinary evening featuring home-cooked dishes, lively music, a quiz, and raffle prizes. Thanks to the dedication of staff and sixth form students, this event raised an incredible £2,251.92.

Together, our schools raised a grand total of £2,716.92 in aid of the Hurricane Melissa Relief Fund.

This achievement is a testament to the strength of our community - from those who donated prizes, shared their cooking talents, gave their time, and most importantly, gave so generously. Every penny will go directly to support those affected.

We are proud to celebrate this collective effort and grateful to everyone who made it possible. 💛💚🖤
