Given food for thought as shelves get stacked
The youngsters from the nurture group at Hendal Primary School in Kettlethorpe were involved in the scheme to forge greater links in the community and have been learning about key local services.
Children designed posters and invited parents and children to donate food that was then delivered to St Catherine’s Church on Doncaster Road.

“We also received support from local supermarkets.
“Children received a £20 donation from Asda and also visited the supermarket where they picked and scanned the products.
“A generous donation of £45 of food products were also received from COOP supermarket.
“As part of our ongoing links with the community school will continue to support this well worthy charity and are planning future fundraising events led by our children.”
