The Christmas upcycling auction raised a mighty £574 for Malawi this year thanks to a record number of fabulously refurbished items by the Watson's DTE upcycling club. 

The  Upcycling Club  was busy this Christmas selling items rescued and carefully restored throughout the Autumn term in the DTE workshop. These students, from S6 through to S1, managed to raise over £500. This takes the total donated to Watson's Malawi Partnership this year to a staggering £1600. On behalf of all our partners, thank you!

Pupils from George Watson's College are busy rescuing discarded items and carefully bringing them back to life to raise money for Watson's Malawi Partnership.  They have already raised more than £500 from two drums, one now living out its days as a coffee table and the other a wine rack; a coat rack made from old engine parts and a steering wheel redesigned to tell the time. Coming up this month, some teak pens created from the Assembly Hall stage, a shelving unit made from some cable ducting and reclaimed oak and a child's occasional store kindly donated by a Watson's parent.
