FESTIVE TREATS FOR ELDERLY IN THE COMMUNITY

Head Girl Chloe Sebastiao and Head Boy Luke Wildish from Hassenbrook Academy, together with their deputies visited Tesco Express this week to collect 22 Christmas food parcels. The festive treats will soon be winging their way to elderly local residents nominated by students and staff.  Ms Jae Bray, Deputy Headteacher at Hassenbrook Academy said, ‘This is an annual event which brings cheer to the community during the festive season. A non-uniform day recently raised £710 to fund the parcels which will be delivered to worthy residents in the local area by staff and students over the coming week.

Tesco’s Express in Stanford-le-Hope have helped greatly by putting the parcels together for us and choosing the best Christmas lines on offer in their store to create the seasonal hampers.  Many thanks to the Manager Stewart Brown for all his help and Del White for her hard work preparing the parcels with such a lovely selection of Christmas goodies. A large hamper was also delivered this week to Kynoch Court a local residential centre where a group of students entertained residents with festive carols’
