Around 100 pupils from a Horsham school have set themselves a series of physical challenges to support a charity which has been impacted heavily by Covid-19.

The team from Christ’s Hospital’s Peele block – one of the boys’ boarding houses at the school – have taken on a host of fundraisers over the last few weeks with all pupils from the block joining a charity run on Sunday, May 2.

Their efforts have so far raised £413 out of their £500 target for Syria Relief.

A spokesperson for the pupils said: “Syria has been particularly affected by the coronavirus pandemic and is in need of our support.

“We want to help provide the resources that this country needs after going through a decade-long conflict that took out half of its hospitals and left many citizens in makeshift camps, which leave them vulnerable to a potential Covid-19 outbreak.
