Foodbank Collection Following on from the successful Loose Change appeal in aid of Tower Hamlets Foodbank students and staff and the whole BGA community were asked to donate food items. BGA students were amazing in organising and counting the food items, making the operation a huge success by collecting a total of 819 meals for local families in need. We would like to thank all our students, staff and parents/carers who helped us fight hidden hunger in Tower Hamlets. Here are the sum totals of our food items collection.
