Hi team!

Each Christmas we open a donation point at the academy for students and families to drop of items in support of the Hamilton District Foodbank Christmas appeal.

They support local families all year round and do an amazing job!

At this time of year the items anything Christmas related (selection boxes, tinned food, biscuits juice etc as long as it's sealed and non-perishable) would be greatly appreciated. I've also attached the items they were looking for last year.

We'll also do an academy big shop as well and if you would like to donate to that please let us know.

We'll be dropping everything to the Food Bank before Christmas.

Any support would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Team ❤️
