Welcome to Wednesday !
Some really important information is contained below.
1. Food donations (very important) - the past year has been very hard on some families in terms of money and food etc. Locally Madley Church and Madley Charities have provided food parcels for members of the community and families who receive free school meals. It is always a 'tricky' conversation as everyone has a great deal of pride and always thinks that others are more in need.
The church community has again offered food parcels for half term but really need to know who needs them. We always operate very discreetly so please phone the office if you would like to receive one by the end of today (Wednesday) so we can let them know. We may also contact some families, please take this in the spirit of support.
Criteria
- in receipt of free school meals through income or circumstance.
2. What is changing in England on 17 May?
