Testimonials

Mrs Reeves-Walters Image

“We are thrilled that our pupils have had the opportunity to create a stunning piece of artwork supported by the ‘Let’s Create Jubilee Fund’ to commemorate the Queen’s Jubilee. This will remain in our school for many years to come. The PTA have been instrumental in ensuring our children have this experience to develop their skills and work together. It now takes pride of place in our School.”

“Thank you very much for this opportunity and also for the kindness you’ve treated us with when we’ve had issues. We’d like to say thank you for giving us the opportunity to include some of the older ones in this project as mentors to the younger members, this helped to solidify trust in our services, thank you for that.”

Without the support of the Community Pantry I would be dead, there is nothing left after I pay my bills.
