Despite this year's Summer Market not being able to go ahead, Congleton High School are asking for generous donations for their chosen charity Cancer Research UK.

The Congleton High School Summer Market is an annual event which has taken place at the school for over 10 years.

Year 10 students organise and run the market to raise money for the year group's chosen charities - this year, Year 10 students have selected Cancer Research UK for their charity.

Each year, thanks to the "generous" support of the school's students and parents, Congleton High School are able to make a considerable donation to the students' chosen charities.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the school are unable to run this year's market.

In a post on their Just Giving fundraising page, Congleton High School said: "We have all seen news reports of the struggles charities are facing in these uncertain times and - whilst we may not be able to run the market - we really don't want Cancer Research UK to lose out on the good work our annual donation helps them to do.

"If you are able to make a donation - no matter how small - then we would be extremely grateful to be able to send this year's donation to Cancer Research UK."

At the time of writing this article, Congleton High School had raised £222.
