Each year, our Sixth Form students take the lead in organising our school’s Food Drive. This year, their efforts raised substantial food and toiletry donations and, over £500 benefiting Hounslow Foodbox. Hounslow Foodbox is dedicated to inclusivity and being led by the community it serves. Their mission is to create a welcoming environment for all of those in need in our local area. While emergency food support doesn’t solve poverty, it offers a vital lifeline to individuals as they address other challenges in their lives. 

It is important that young people understand the value of giving back to their community, even if it is a very small donation.  It teaches us about caring for other people and the value of charitable work and the difference that communities can make to the lives of their residents.
