Napier Girls' High School has been leading from the top, with the prefect team organising a fundraising mufti day recently to help kids in Hawke's Bay this winter.
Deputy head girl Ruby Roberts says they chose the charity Jammies for June because they were inspired by its Napier founder Gabby Allen's winter clothing drive, which she has run for the past seven years via her Facebook page Out and about with kids in Hawke's Bay.
"At the beginning of the year, we wanted to get involved in an initiative that would be able to effect positive change here in Hawke's Bay. Gabby has harnessed social media and used it in a good way to set up this drive," Ruby says.
She felt NGHS could "really add a big contribution" to this charity and says after Gabby's visit to the school, many of the students felt inspired.
"She recalled that when one young girl who lived with her grandparents and never had anything new, received her PJs and slippers, it was the 'best day of her life'. It showed everyone how such a little contribution can really positively impact someone's life."
