Brutal Walk raises £8,579!

On Monday 22 July, over 700 Acland Burghley students, staff and volunteers embarked on a sponsored walk from the school to some of London’s iconic brutalist landmarks, in a bid to restore our beloved Brutalist Assembly Hall into an arts and heritage space for the whole community.

On the sponsored walk, Y7 visited the Brunswick Centre and the Southbank, Y8 visited the Barbican, and Y9 went to Russell Square and the National Theatre. There was also an inclusive walk to the Whittington Estate where students had the opportunity to design a Brutalist bench which will be made by Wood That Works over the Summer. 

A total of £8,579 was raised and the tutor groups which raised the most money in each participating year group were 7LMI, 8HOM and 10 BMA. Well done to all the students!

The impressive walk was covered by the Camden New Journal, Islington Tribune, Ham & High and BBC Radio London. Take a look at the incredible pictures below and watch this space for more fundraising events for the Hall for All campaign.
