Food Bank Collection

Charity Committee collecting food for the Food Bank in the Chichester area, leading up to Christmas. 

Each year group will be allocated a set food group to bring in each week. This will be rotated every Friday in order to give boarders the opportunity to plan and support the following week. 

Every Monday the collection from the previous week will be delivered by a member of staff from the Committee and, where possible, a couple of students too. 

Donations are collected each week from the tutor groups to a central point, ready for delivery.  This occurred for 4 weeks during the run up to the Christmas break. Going forward there will be a permanent collection box in the Common Rooms so that donations can be received throughout the year.
