We are once again collecting for the Viewpark Foodbank and will be accepting donations throughout these last weeks of term.  If you would like to donate, please take a look at the list below.  We will also have donation buckets available as you enter the Christmas Fayre on Friday 8th December, just in case you’d rather make a small financial contribution.

Feel free to send or bring in donations at any time between now and the end of term!

Any contribution would be gratefully received.
