The flight departed and returned to RAF Brize Norton on 24^th April 2024 with 500 cuddly giraffes on board to raise money and awareness for Great Ormond Street Hospital in memory of Louise Conway who died aged 9 of leukaemia in 2013. Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate donated 50% of the manufacturing costs on behalf of our junior school, Chapter House, and our large Forces community across campus (about 25% of our total student population).
