Notice Board Buddy Bag Foundation

On Tuesday morning children in Year 1 Wellbeing club and the Year 2 and 3 children each packed a buddy bag. The Buddy Bag Foundation, a charity founded by Austin and Hector's grandma supplies bags to children who have had to leave home in an emergency often with only the clothes they are wearing. Each bag contains 12 items that are matched to the age of the children such as pyjamas and books. All of the bags have a handmade soft toy in them to bring a little bit of comfort to children who have suffered traumatic events. In the UK 48,000 children each year find themselves needing to move to emergency accommodation so the work of the charity makes a huge difference to children in their most difficult moments.

When the children had packed a bag they added a card with their name on so that the child who receives it will know that it was packed with love. The children have been so interested to learn about the work of the charity and be able to play their small part in having a positive impact on the life of another child.

Many thanks to Mrs Williams (the founder of the charity), Mrs Harris, Mrs Rodgers, Mrs Glenn, Mrs Brown & Mrs Wyndham-Quinn for helping with the Buddy Bag pack.
