Captains and prefects from Braidhurst High school once again battled the wind and rain to deliver our annual food parcels to the elderly and the needy within the local area. This year the collection of food items tied in with our \u2018Dress Down Day\u2019. Pupils were asked to donate \u00a31 in aid of St Andrews hospice and bring a food item. The response was overwhelming and resulted in over 600 food items being collected.\u00a0 All 30 residents in the sheltered housing complex at Baillie Court received a box of groceries. Eight local families also received Christmas boxes.\u00a0 This was once again a successful event which people in our school community appreciate greatly.\u00a0 Staff and pupils feel this is a worthwhile cause and gain a real sense of satisfaction. Pupils taking part gain valuable life skills such as empathy and initiatives such as these help the pupils to develop a real sense of community within the Forgewood area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
