News » Launch of London’s ‘Railway Children’ Project at EGA
Published: 11/11/2011
EGA hosted a special event on Thursday 10th November. The guests invited to the launch of a charity project included the Mayor of Islington and Alexandra Burke, ex-EGA girl and international recording artist. Alexandra is the first ever UK Ambassador for the charity ‘Railway Children’, a charity which supports young people who have, or are thinking about, running away from home. She came to EGA to launch an awareness campaign, supported by the insurance company, Aviva, of the plight of dispossessed young people who have to survive alone in London. A group of year 7 students were invited to the event and they learned a great deal about the charity. They will be working together with the charity to find ways of supporting vulnerable young people over the winter months.
