We have been very busy on the charities and volunteering fronts since the February half term!

First up was the Cultural Fair. It was so lovely seeing staff and students getting involved and celebrating and sharing their heritage with the students as well as teaching them a little something about their cultural backgrounds. Students learnt greetings and fun facts about the different countries and artefacts to look at. Tasting food was especially popular! Yet again, a wide range of countries were represented from all over the world, including countries in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Iran, India, Ethiopia and many others. Over £350 was raised for the work or Ealing Winter Night shelter.

Volunteering

Our Year 10 Enrichment Programme continues, with a group visiting our local Age UK  day centre, where the customers really enjoyed the singing and also joined in enthusiastically. Meanwhile, one group of students have been planning for the termly Ealing Mencap Fair which will be held in the last week of the term and another preparing for leading Science Week activities at North Ealing Primary School next week.

We continue to work with the local park rangers and care homes as well as ongoing visits to Ealing Age UK. and support for the Salvation Army, where next time our students will be sorting baby clothes and putting together baby packs for young families.
