Sarah, CEO of Comfort Cases, came into school to tell us about backpacks they give to children who are going into care.
The school council visited the headquarters and packed some backpacks themselves with teddies, pyjamas, blankets, toiletries, colouring pads, crayons, and a book. The children wrote some words of affirmation which were touching!
The children came up with some creative ways in which we could raise money to support the excellent work of Comfort Cases, watch this space for more...
