Children’s collection for the homeless

The children in Year 1 and Nursery have been reflecting on how they can help those in need.  Following the words of our school vision ‘Our work is founded on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, building on his message of equality, peace and justice’, the children decided to collect items to be donated to the homeless.  The children encouraged many generous donations from our families and staff from St Mary’s travelled to Central London in order to distribute the items.  All of the donations were gratefully received and will make a real difference to the homeless, thank you to everyone who contributed.  This will be an ongoing project, so we will be continuing to collect.  Please pass your donations to the Nursery or Year 1 classes, the most useful items are:

• wipes (baby wipes)
• socks
• hats
• practical warm clothing
• underwear
• blankets or sleeping bags
• toothpaste and brush
• deodorant
