Child Food Poverty Presentation

In our meeting today, Tuesday 4th February 2025, we have been talking about Child Food Poverty (see out PowerPoint attached)

Did you know that Pendle has the highest level of child food poverty in the country? 

43.6% of children in Pendle suffer food poverty - that's almost a half of children locally.

We need to do something about this!

As a School Council and Colne Junior Council we are working with Colne Open Door to do what we can to help raise awareness as well as raising money and food donations.

 

Our first step:

 

Please bring food donations before Friday 14th February

These foods must be tinned or dried so they don't perish, for example:

Tinned food such as: fruit, soup, beans, peas...

Dried foods such as: pasta, rice, noodles, breakfast cereals

Drinks: tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate, long-life fruit juice, long-life milk

Please do what you can to help!

APPEAL! 

we need:

- gardening gloves 

- hand forks 

- flexi tubs

and compost 

to get started with our planting.

Have you anything you can donate?

Please donate by Friday the 31st of 

January.

What do we want to achieve this year?

We have already started our meetings and have identified some of our priorities for this year. This is a presentation we have put together for the school. It outlines some of the things we are going to be working on.

Our School Council Priorities 2024-2025

Hi these are our new school council members. We are going to do a brilliant job this year and help our school and Colne to be be a better place.

We are so exited to get started and help the pupils in our school. If the pupils in our school have any ideas they can come to us so we can try and make it happen. And we are going to try and raise money for worthy causes.
