百春链

Children at 百春链 Primary Academy Bell Lane are showing their community spirit by collecting food for a local foodbank, Pontefract Foodbank.

The primary academy, based on Bell Lane in Ackworth, is asking all those who can to donate any dried or tinned goods from Thursday 14th October. The collection will end on Tuesday 19th October.

This is the second year in a row that the academy has held a collection for the Pontefract Foodbank, as it also held a collection last year as part of the academy鈥檚 harvest celebrations.

Rebecca Barley, Principal at 百春链 Primary Academy Bell Lane, said:

鈥淔ollowing the success of last year鈥檚 collection, we wanted to try and replicate the success this year.

鈥淎t 百春链 we believe in playing an active role in the communities we are proud to serve, and we want to be there to help those who need it most. That is why we are collecting and donating food for our local foodbank to help anyone and everyone we can.鈥�

Pontefract Foodbank is a project founded by local churches and community groups and is part of The Trussell Trust, a nationwide network of food banks that work together to combat food poverty and hunger across the UK.
