There was cornflakes, soup, chocolates and more as Pleckgate held a Ramadan Food Bank collection.
Generous staff and students each brought in at least one item of food and it was donated to the Al Imdaad Foundation as well as the Blackburn Foodbank.
“As it is Ramadan at the moment, many of our school community will be preparing for the last ten days before Eid,” said teacher Shahiesta Raja. “This is a time for reflection and charity. “As part of this, we organised the food bank collection for two charities, both of which serve our local communities.
” Our students, parents and staff were extremely generous with around 2000 items of food collected that will benefit our local community. “
Pleckgate is aiming to break its record by raising almost £10,000 for charity this school year.
