Year 12 student Savannah Garber has been recognised by the Liverpool Rotary Club Garston Branch as their 'Hero of the Year' in recognition of her efforts in co-ordinating a team of volunteers to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust through a variety of activities both inside and outside of school.

The team comprises of Savannah’s peers and also younger students within school, including her younger sister Mollie who is in Year 7.

Fund-raising activities have included Savannah completing a 10k run with family and friends, raising over £8000; face painting and selling cupcakes to competitors and spectators on school Sports' Day; bag packs in local supermarkets; the 5k Santa Dash through Liverpool City Centre; and a recent 'Pamper Day'.

Total funds raised have now reached the £15,000 mark - a fantastic effort, none of which would have been possible without the hard work, leadership and dedication of Savannah.
