Pupils help foodbank

A Christmas Dinner for Everyone was the target of a festive appeal organised by Sixth Form students at Rossett School.

The students, led by the school’s designated Charity Prefect Emily Farquhar, have been collecting donations for the Harrogate District Foodbank, part of the Trussell Trust network.

Food items ranging from everyday essentials to festive treats were donated by the Rossett School community, and will be delivered to the foodbank in time for Christmas.

Emily said: “Thank you to everyone who donated to our important appeal. The Trussell Trust and its families need our support this year more than ever, with the pandemic putting huge strains on the charity and greatly decreasing the amount of donations they were receiving.

“We wanted to do something to help our community this Christmas.”
