Woodpark Winter Jacket/Clothing Campaign
Dear Parents/Carers
The success of the SLC winter jacket campaign has been so great that unfortunately we have been unable to secure jackets for those who had requested it. So…. we would like to run our own winter jacket campaign! We would be very grateful for any donations of children’s good condition, warm winter jackets that your child may now have grown out of.
We are particularly looking for the following sizes (although any donations welcome):
Boys aged 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12
Girls aged 5-6, 8-9, 9-10.
Also, we are fortunate to have been given some funding from SLC for winter clothing.
If you need items such as: hats/gloves/scarves/tights/socks/wellies please click here to apply. If you had applied for a winter jacket before I would be grateful if you could also complete this form, thank you.
We can’t guarantee to be able to provide for all requests, but we will do our best to provide for as many as we can, this will be on a first come, first served basis.
Mrs D MacKenna, Head Teacher
