Food Bank Visit

Nine Student Leaders from Years 9 & 10 went to the Durham food bank in Chester-le Street this morning. The warehouse collects donations, sorts them, and then sends them to 36 separate food banks in the county.

In January, they fed around 4,000 people, which was a big increase on the month before, and they have seen the numbers of people asking for help exponentially rise in recent months.

Our students helped sort through all of the donations, categorising them, and packing them by the expiry dates, ready to send out to local families.

We’re hoping to make this a monthly event.
