Students Donate Nearly 600kg to Newcastle West End Foodbank! Our students have once again shown their commitment to supporting the local community by donating an impressive 596 kilograms of food, personal hygiene items, and baby products during their annual appeal for Newcastle West End Foodbank. A spokesperson for Newcastle West End Foodbank expressed their gratitude, saying: "We are incredibly grateful for the amazing support you have offered us and would be unable to provide the services we do without donors like yourselves. Your 596kg donation has provided approximately 149 individuals with enough food for at least three days. That is an incredible achievement!" Our Deputy Principal, Mr Snowdon, commented: "We are immensely proud of our students and staff for their compassion and generosity. Their efforts will make a real difference to vulnerable communities at a time when support is needed most." A big thank you to our generous students and staff, and everyone involved, for showing such compassion and generosity. #CommunitySupport #GosforthAcademy #FoodBank #MakingADifference #GosforthGroup #CreatingFutures
