Feeding Communities - Creating meals & community freezer
We are dedicated to supporting the charity Feeding Communities which gives carers a month's worth of Friday night meals for them and their family so they can have some respite from cooking.
Students within the School have been volunteering with the charity for several months and helped cook, package and deliver over 2000 boxes to the grateful families.
In addition, the School, together with our catering contractors Thomas Franks, have been cooking, packing and distributing almost 2000 meals to local families and primary schools in the area. This has been funded by the School and our Sixth Form students have been volunteering to assemble the meals.
We also raised money to buy a community freezer which is located in school, which is filled with home-made meals for members of the community to access should they need a good meal throughout the year.
Aims
To provide good meals to those in need.
Background
This whole initiative was spearheaded by Year 11 Dulcie, who was single-minded and dedicated in her fund-raising efforts, never losing sight of the objective, quietly and persistently chasing individuals to get things done and to make a difference. She is an extraordinarily determined young lady who had single-handedly made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of individuals.
We were thrilled that she won the Wellington Town Council Youth Award.
