After much debate and discussion amongst the children in Pre-Prep and each of the houses in the Prep School, the following local charities have been chosen to be supported by Friends of Pinewood this year:

Pre-Prep – Trindledown Farm (National Animal Welfare Trust) and sponsorship of ‘Ginger’ the Guide Dog

Farnborough – Threshold (Swindon’s Homeless Charity)

Melchet – Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue

Motcombe – Restore (an Oxfordshire based mental health charity) and The Harbour Project (a Swindon based charity supporting refugees and asylum seekers)

Postbridge – Faringdon Foodbank run by Churches Together in Faringdon
