A primary school in Bedford was given a boost this month when British rapper, Stormzy, donated a pair of tickets and a signed copy of his latest album to their library fundraiser.
The Friends of Edith Cavell School have been fundraising to create a fully-accessible library for four years. The school, which is on Manton Lane, has set up an online raffle so that everyone in Bedford has a chance to win the ‘golden ticket’
There are two prizes up for grabs and the raffle closes on Saturday 27 May. You can enter at the link here and tickets are just £1. You can enter as many times as you like.
The first prize is two tickets to see Stormzy headline at the All Points East ‘This Is What We Mean Day’ at Victoria Park in London on Friday 18 August. This is Stormzy’s only UK gig this year.
A second lucky entrant will win a signed vinyl copy of Stormzy’s latest album, This Is What I Mean.
The Edith Cavell PTA was recently nominated for a Bedford Independent Everday Heroes award in the ‘fundraiser of the year’ category for their ongoing efforts to raise money for a library for the school’s pupils.
“A donation from Stormzy is a dream come true for us and we know that providing this vital resource to our children will shape the next generation’s love of reading,” said chair of Friends of Edith Cavell School, Abi Duddleston.
“We just cannot thank him enough.”
