Christmas Food Parcels

Dear Parents and Carers

There is no disputing the fact that some families, for various reasons, are facing financial hardship at the moment.  As you know Christmas@Trinity in school activities will be free of charge for all Trinity learners.  We are also aware however that some Trinity families may find it helpful to receive a Christmas food parcel containing basic food items plus some Christmas extras.  Our family support worker, Sandra Brown, has suggested some names for us already but we believe there may be more families who could do with a bit of a help at this time of year.   

Acts of Kindness are being shared by our Trinity Learners at the moment and helping those who belong to our Trinity community is an act of kindness we can extend. 

If you would find a Christmas food parcel helpful please do let us know either by phoning Sandra Brown on 07746 895595 or emailing Sandra or school direct on the email addresses below :

sandra@citadelyouthcentre.org.uk

Kelly.tawake@trinity-pri.edin.sch.uk

(Kelly Tawake is our Pupil Support Officer)

I cannot stress enough that any requests will be treated with dignity and in confidence so please do get in touch if, together,  we can help.  

Best wishes

Halloween Costume Swap

Last plea to parents and carers about bringing in a costume to donate to this year’s Halloween Costume Swap. Tomorrow morning is the last chance to bring something in so your child can then choose something new from the swap tomorrow (Tuesday 10th October).

Many thanks to all the parents and carers who have already brought something in!
