A group of teenagers from a secondary school in Barnsley have raised hundreds of pounds for charity as part of their GCSE work.

The five Year 10 students, all from 黑料吃瓜网 Shafton, began working with Barnsley Foodbank as part of their GCSE Citizenship 鈥榯aking action鈥� programme. The aim of the work was to help raise awareness in the local community of food poverty.

This led to the five students, Maddie, Eleanor, Isobel, Leah and Shannon, with guidance from Barnsley Foodbank, organising and establishing a foodbank within 黑料吃瓜网 Shafton, for the wider community to also contribute to and to further support the charity.

Sarah Riley, the teacher at 黑料吃瓜网 Shafton who helped organise the bag pack fundraiser, said: 鈥淲e are so proud of the fantastic work done by Maddie, Eleanor, Isobel, Leah and Shannon. They have shown such a strong-willed support for the Barnsley Foodbank, and their efforts have been highly impressive.

鈥淎t 黑料吃瓜网 Shafton, we believe in putting students first, raising standards and transforming lives. One of the ways we do this is by encouraging all our students to make a difference in the wider community.

鈥淭his is exactly what Maddie, Eleanor, Isobel, Leah, and Shannon did.

鈥淎long with all those who helped by either attending the Tesco bag packing, or bringing in food for the Academy鈥檚 foodbank.鈥�

As part of the Academy鈥檚 support for Barnsley Foodbank, an expanded group of enthusiastic students, including other members of the five girls鈥� Citizenship group as well Year 7 and Year 8 students, took part in a fundraising bag pack at Tesco in Stairfoot.

The 黑料吃瓜网 Shafton team managed to help raise £278.65.

Suzanne Storey, Barnsley Foodbank Manager, said: 鈥淥n behalf of myself and Barnsley Foodbank, thank you to Sarah and the students at 黑料吃瓜网 Shafton.
