Dear Parents/Carers

Wansbeck Valley Food Bank Collection

The Beacon Team have chosen Wansbeck Valley Food Bank as the charity we would like to support this term. We have chosen them again as they are a local food bank that support many families in our area. Due to the current cost of living crisis, the support they offer is even more valuable. To help support them we are having a collection of goods. This can include things like long-life foods, tinned products, toiletries and items we may buy over Christmas such as, boxes of biscuits, puddings, Christmas crackers or chocolates etc.

If you feel you can help this worthwhile cause, please send any donations into school with your child. Donations can be handed to their form teacher. Please can all donations be at school by the morning of 8th December 2022.

If you have any queries or would like to know more about how you can support or how to access support from the food bank, please get in touch with your child’s Head of Year.

You can also contact Wansbeck Valley Food Bank directly on 07841 908477 or by email on
wansbeckvalleyfoodbank@gmail.com Referrals can also be made via GPs or Socia Services.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
Andrea Henderson and The Beacon Team
