During the initial lockdown Thomas More Catholic School held a foodbank that helped over 90 of our own families, families at nearby primary schools and in the local area. Donations were also passed onto two local charities working with homeless youngsters and refugees.

The support that we received from the community in donations was outstanding and the amount of families that benefitted from our foodbank was overwhelming. So due to its success, we will be running the food bank again over the Christmas period and we are planning on running the food bank every year going forward.

We are expecting many more families to come along this year as the COVID pandemic continues and the Furlough system has now finished, leaving many facing a very difficult and different Christmas. Therefore, we will be requiring more donations in order to help these families have a wonderful Christmas with plenty of food. We are also hoping to be able to provide small presents to children who may not get a gift otherwise. For that reason, we are asking for any contributions big or small, that you would be kind enough to donate so that we can buy gifts and essential foods to support our foodbank. In addition to monetary donations, food, wrapping paper and gifts will also be accepted at the school.

Thank you in advance for any contributions and support.
