The ‘Pomegranate Opportunities trust’, raises money for students of Queen Katherine to offer them enrichment activities that they may not normally be able to afford. The Charity was set up about 4 years ago and is run by staff volunteers. The aim of the charity is to help our students make memories, all students at QKA can bid for funding, we look at every bid individually, to ensure that it meets the charities terms and conditions. Since we started, we have funded theatre trips, course work expeditions , kit for competitions, university visits and many other memories.
Our staff fundraisers need your support to ensure we always have funding to support our students , so they can continue to make memories. We would appreciate it if you could follow the link and sponsor us, every penny does make a difference, so no amount is too small.
