This weekend Isla emailed Mr Devitt and Mr Said asking what our crew could do for the people of Ukraine, with some suggestions of her own.
Isla read some articles and thought really carefully about what was needed and how we could help. She then put together a presentation for our Crew which she delivered this morning. The Crew were really impressed with Isla’s compassion and agreed that we wanted to help.
Students in Crew Devitt/Said have agreed to contribute if they can, although this is not something that is an expectation. We have said that we will try to get donations together over the next week, up to Wednesday 16th March.
Where possible, in line with what Isla has found out and as recommended by Gateshead Council donations of the following would be welcome:
- Clean and winter-proof sleeping bags for children and adults
- First Aid Kits
- Dressing
- Clean Bedding
- Toiletries (not opened)
- Small baby nappies
- Baby wipes
- Colouring books
- Children crayons
- Children Art Accessories
- Clothing
- Clean Blankets
Donations in school will be passed to a local drop off point, and will be transported to Poland and given to the CARITAS charity foundation, who are providing crucial assistance to those fleeing to Poland.
