Telford Crisis Support- Comic Relief

On the morning of Thursday 30th March, our Year 6 school council representatives were invited to shop for food and sanitary items to be donated to the charity Telford Crisis Support. The children spent the money we raised as a school on Comic Relief Day. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to see how the money we worked so hard to raise as a school is spent. The children picked a selection of products ranging from tinned meats to toothpaste to help support families in our community. The team at Telford Crisis Support were extremely grateful to receive the donation and were happy to show the children how the food was distributed.

Here is what some of the children had to say about the experience:

• Kara: It made me feel like we’ve done something to help lots of people. It was good to experience the workings of a charity and to see where our donations went.
• Miley: I feel good about myself because we’ve put other people’s interests before our own.
• Logan: Erin at Telford Crisis Support showed us where our food and sanitary products will go to support families.
