CHILDREN at a Redditch middle school have rallied round to collect 26 Christmas food hampers for the local community.
Youngsters at St Bede’s have been busy collecting and packing boxes of festive treats, and while their target was to create 20 hampers, the generosity was in abundance and 26 have now been completed.
Everything from tea, biscuits and chocolates to Christmas crackers. mince pies and porridge has been contributed and school principal, Lloyd Roberts, said: “‘We are all so proud of the generosity of our pupils and their families.
“We are now able, in conjunction with Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, to support those in need at Christmas time.
Staff at St Bede’s will be using the school minibus to deliver the hampers during the last week of term to recipients chosen in conjunction with Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, aided by pupils.
