蚂蚁福利导航 Academy Ormesby supports families in need this Christmas
Students and staff at 蚂蚁福利导航 Academy Ormesby are supporting local families this Christmas by running a hamper appeal in aid of CAUSE.
The school collected food, clothing and toys which will go to Teesside families to help them over Christmas. This is the second time the school has supported the campaign and students managed to raise more donations this time round, exceeding their target number of hampers. This means some hampers will be given to families within the school community. Donations were delivered to Breckon Hill Community Centre ready for distribution.
Paul Saxton, Personal Development Lead at the school, said:
鈥淚t has made us extremely proud as a school community to see our students embrace the needs of others before their own. They鈥檝e built on their generosity from last year and managed to raise even more donations this year; it鈥檚 been amazing. Education is always important but being a kind human being is infectious.鈥�
As well as the Christmas hamper campaign, CAUSE also organises holiday hunger campaigns in February half term, Easter and summer holidays, providing bags of food to schools for distribution to families, giving them a little extra support to feed their children whilst schools are closed.
CAUSE also responds to crisis requests, enabling families to receive support with items such as beds, bedding, wardrobes, drawers, small electrical items, household items and food. To find out more about their provision, please visit
