2024-2025
Thurrock Foodbank 2024
As long-standing supporters of Thurrock Foodbank, we are proud to have collected over 900kg of donations since we became involved with the charity.
For 2024, students and staff have been bringing in their donations throughout December, items ranging from tinned goods, and mince pies, to toiletries, and baby food. All donations, however big or small have been very gratefully received.
In addition, families have been able to make cash donations via ParentPay, and students have been buying raffle tickets, which raised a fantastic £550, proceeds from both have gone towards purchasing more items for the foodbank.
Whilst we won’t know our weight of donations for 2024 just yet, I’m sure you’ll agree our collective efforts have produced fantastic results!
We would like to thank everyone involved for your contributions and for playing your part in serving our community and helping those in crisis.
Macmillan Coffee Morning 2024
Following the great success of previous year’s events, we were delighted once again to host a Macmillan Coffee Morning to raise funds to support those diagnosed with cancer and those that care for them.
Families were invited to join us and their child/ren at HAOC on Friday 27th September for coffee and a piece of cake in exchange for a small donation.
To further support the cause, there were also other fundraising activities taking place, including guess the number of teacups, and sweets in the jar, as well as our Staff Bake-Off!
For 2024 we raised an incredible £1065, which is our best year yet! Thank you to everyone who got involved allowing us to serve our community and help this wonderful and worthwhile cause.
