Spreading joy at Christmas
This Christmas at Co-op Academy Walkden, Miss Glennie and Mrs Early organised a Christmas Hamper donation. We couldn't have imagined at the beginning what a huge success this turned out to be.
Miss Glennie requested the help of students, families and staff to bring in an item each to be donated in a Christmas Hamper. We asked for basic food supplies and necessities, however, by December due to the incredible generosity and kindness of our academy community, we were able to deliver 54 large hampers full of not only basic items but exciting gifts, festive foods and sweet treats, luxury toiletries as well as books and family games. These were delivered to families who really appreciated this gesture just days before Christmas, we have loved this opportunity to really show we care and want to thank everyone who sent in a gift or bought food supplies. This really did make a huge difference to our communities' Christmas spirit.
