Broomley First School council with the five trollies of donations collected in school for the West Northumberland Food Bank. Teacher Karen Swann praised the pupils’ efforts in engaging in a national issue on a local scale.
BROOMLEY First School filled five trollies full of donations for the West Northumberland Food Bank.
Teacher Karen Swann said: “The school council decided help the local community and help those less fortunate.
“Christmas is all about giving and it gave the children the idea of how you can help others during the festive period.
“Around 140 children at the school took part as well as all staff and people at the pre-school. I am absolutely overwhelmed with the response.”
