Donations are divided into hampers for people in need and delivered to approximately 250 families and people in the Burgess Hill area in time for Christmas.

Jen Weeks, headteacher said: “I’d like to thank staff, students and parents who supported this year’s appeal.

“The food hamper drive was well supported and will be distributed to those in need across December.

“Now, more than ever, we need to support our communities, and it was fantastic for students to meet with the Lions and hear how their donations will be used.”
