Baking and donating! Kids and parents working together
CHILDREN COOKING Throughout lockdown we worked on our baking. When we received a leaflet about a local charity jumble sale, we decided to bring both together. We chose the Alzheimer's Society who help people with dementia. We started baking and sorting out toys and clothes. On the day, dad set up the tables so we could safely sell to our friends and neighbours. After a day in the cold we raised £125 and over £600 on our Just Giving Page. A week after, we got a call from the Alzheimer's Society to say, “Thank you”.

Ed - Fantastic effort and contribution - you should be really proud and we are proud of you. CARRYING THE CAN Thank you - to all of our parent community who this year have donated cash, rather than bringing in physical items for the Foodbank. Last year we raised a weight of food equivalent to two Silverback gorillas. This year we raised £343 which will be donated direct to the Foodbank. If we converted the cash to beans - look at how we would have done.
