Ormiston Chadwick Academy Fundraiser

Ormiston Chadwick Academy has started a fundraiser for a member of staff who is currently facing inoperable cancer.

The staff member, Linsey, supports SEND students and the Math’s Department at the school and has consistently demonstrated her commitment to helping students at the school achieve their best work.

She has been diagnosed with inoperable cancer and is seeking to raise funds to access an overseas medical trial to prolong her life beyond this initial prognosis.
