For the next five weeks, our GCSE Year 11 citizenship students will be collecting food for our local foodbanks in Murton and Easington Colliery.
In the last three years, citizenship students have raised over £1,000 and collected hundreds of food items for various charities, and this year is no different.
The students chose to collect food again this year as our local foodbanks are under an increasing amount of pressure from the local community.
Each tutor group will be provided with a hamper box for collections, please bring in your food donations and leave them with your tutor before Wednesday 13 December 2017.
If every member of the school community brought in just one item, over 80 food parcels could be created.
