Penryn & Falmouth Foodbank Collection

In recent years, we have held a collection for the Penryn & Falmouth Foodbank as a way of supporting the local community at Christmas time.

We are aware that it is a difficult time financially for many families, but if you are able to contribute to this year’s collection, it would be gratefully received.

Donations

Donations can be handed in at our main reception rather than in tutor bases, so that pupils don’t feel pressured to contribute. We will be receiving donations from Monday 2 December until Friday 13 December.

About Foodbanks

Students have learned about the role of foodbanks via our SMSC Weekly Topic, and our upcoming assemblies will also focus on this subject.
