Two teachers successfully organised a special event selling second hand uniform and clothing to raise funds for Foodbank.

Miss Dodson and Ms Page from Priory Community School Academy in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset raised over £300 last week for the Foodbank charity by selling second hand uniform.
With the proceeds, they purchased food and items for the winter months.

They also plan to buy Christmas items like Christmas calendars to spread the Christmas cheer!

The foodbank is Priory Community School Academy's charity for the year along with The Priory Learning Trust:

They are doing amazing job to help people who are in crisis have 3 nutritious meals for the day.
Apart from food, the Foodbank charity also provides toiletries and essentials for people who are struggling.

On Saturday 12th of November the School is also holding a Community Breakfast which brings people together to provide everyone with a nutritious breakfast and encourage more fundraising for Weston Foodbank.
