Our Y10 Silver DofE students have been unable to undertake their usual charity fundraising activities this year, so they’ve decided to create food hampers for our local food banks.
We’re all very aware of the financial impact the various lockdown/tier 3 restrictions have had on our community, especially on those who have been furloughed or are self employed and unable to work. So, in addition to the staple non-perishable items (cereals; tinned and packeted foods; tea/coffee/juice) we are specifically asking for donations of those ‘treat’ items that some families may have to go without this year.
For example:
- nice biscuits
- chocolates/selection boxes
- Christmas crackers
- mince pies, cakes, etc.
- small gift sets (e.g. hand cream/deodorant)
If you are able to contribute, please can you send items in to be passed on to your child’s Crew Leader by Monday 15th December.
The hampers will be donated to St John The Evangelist Church in Balby and The Trussell Trust at Christ Church during the last week of term.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.
Mrs Mawby, Miss Cocliff, Mrs Batty, Mrs Collinson and Miss Wilmot (Crew Leaders Year 10)
