After a successful Harvest Festival in Church, the children in Year Six at Farrington Gurney Primary School got to see the onward journey of our donations as they delivered them to the Radstock collection point.

The children were given a brief ‘behind the scenes’ look at how the donations are sorted ready for picking up by individuals or families in crisis.

It was an interesting visit, which gave our children a wider appreciation of the problems faced by people in the local area. The Radstock branch alone fed twenty three people last week in need of emergency food packages.

With the crisis around household budgets being a pressing concern for many this autumn, as a school we have registered with Somer Valley Foodbank to be able to issue vouchers for any of our families who find themselves in a genuine crisis situation.
