School’s harvest collection helps food bank

PEOPLE in need of emergency help will benefit from donations made by families in Frampton Cotterell.

Watermore Primary School collected donations for Yate Foodbank as part of learning around the traditional Harvest festival.

The foodbank, based at the Candle in Station Road, provides emergency meals to people in short-term financial crisis, who are referred by support services such as GPs, social workers or Citizens Advice.

Assistant head teacher for Lisa Richards said: “We would like to say a very big ‘thank you’ to all of our families who made a fantastic contribution to Yate Foodbank as part of our Harvest Celebration assembly.

“We had a great response to our request for donations and our Year 6 team, who assisted in collecting and displaying the donations before loading them into the van, were delighted.”
