For the 2022/23 academic year, Witham Hall will support Tommy's Arc, a specific fund of the umbrella charity, Alice’s Arc.

In the summer of 2021, Witham Hall Year 1 pupil, Tommy, began a fierce battle with Rhabdomyosarcoma. We have chosen Tommy's Arc in his family’s honour to support all that they are going through and to get behind the fight against Rhabdomyosarcoma. Currently, only 2-3% of cancer research funding in the UK goes towards all childhood cancers. Alice's Arc is an organisation dedicated to finding a cure and kinder, more targeted treatments for those affected by Rhabdomyosarcoma.

The Friends of Witham, parents, staff and pupils will support the school charity at events including the Firework Night, the Winter Fair, the Annual Fun Run and through House fundraising events. Please contact us if you would like to support our efforts to help raise funds and awareness of Alice’s Arc and the fight against rhabdomyosarcoma.
