The Charity Champions were busy during December! With their advertising during assemblies, they managed to raise £54 for Crisis for the Homeless with their Bake Sale! On top of this, they collected bags of donations (clothes, towels, food, hygiene products) which were dropped off to a local Food Bank called Sufra in North West London.
Sufra were extremely grateful for our donations, mentioning us on their Twitter Page and showing interest in working with us in the future. Well Done to our Charity Champions for all their hard work!
Thank you to @AlpertonCS for donating a trolley’s worth of food items. Appreciate it. #FoodBank pic.twitter.com/B7SlvU3nIO
