Kindness in the Community 

*UPDATE*
 

Thank you all so much for your incredibly generous donations and all of your support with our Kindness in the Community Project! We were all overwhelmed with the number of donations that were brought in from parents, grandparents, governors and staff! Swansea University donated 100 reusable water bottles and Jones and Andrew's Ltd sent in enormous bags of goodies! Thanks to the wonderful letters and video sent to shops, both Coops in Killay, Iceland on Carmarthen Road, Tesco Marina, Tesco Fforestfach, M&S Swansea and Fforestfach all very kindly contributed too!

All pupils played a part in this project and have seen how easy, and important it is to show kindness towards others.

Donations have been packed and taken to Matthew’s House, where they will be distributed to those in need at Christmas. Matthew's House have sent a thank you letter (below) to express their gratitude.

The video below gives thanks to everyone that helped, and offers the chance to see all of the fantastic donations and hard work from staff and pupils!

Thank you all again, and Merry Christmas! 

   Kindness in the Community 

Our Challenge Week this half term is to show kindness to our community. We have decided to show our kindness to each other, and to those that are without a home in Swansea. Being homeless must be difficult throughout the year, but winter poses extra obstacles and challenges.

Our pupils have been busy writing letters to shops across Swansea to ask them to donate a range of items that can be gifted to homeless people at Christmas time. Pupils will be packing donated items into bags and sending them to the charity, Matthew's House. 

If you would like to show your kindness too, by donating some of the items from the list below to this fantastic cause, please send them into school by Friday 8th December. 

Thank you so much for your support! 

From everyone at Cilâ
