This year, the Mayor of Haringey has chosen to support the Lymphoma Association with his Special Fund. He is inviting schools in Haringey to take part in the Wear Purple campaign during the month of November.
Lymphoma is the most common group of cancers in teenagers and young adults (15–24 years old) and the third most common group of cancers in childhood (0–14 years old), after leukaemia and brain tumours. Every year in the UK, around 150 children and more than 450 teenagers and young people develop lymphoma. However, the awareness of this illness in our communities is very limited.
The Lymphoma Association specialises in providing a range of services to people who have been diagnosed with this disease, enabling and empowering them to have a decent quality life.
By making a £1 donation and wearing purple on Friday 25 November 2016, young people across Haringey can help the Lymphoma Association help more young people.
We hope as many students as possible will be able to wear some fabulous items of ‘purple’ on this very special day. For more information, see the attached leaflet (PDF, 1.42MB) and cash collection form (PDF, 72KB)
For more information, please contact Claudine Duberry of Taking Positive Steps who can be contacted by email at info@takingpositivesteps.org.uk.

Thank you in advance for your support.
