We were delighted to attend Burston Community Primary School this week, where kind-hearted pupils had collected a generous donation of food for The Shelf.

The donation was presented during a special Harvest Festival assembly, led by Pastor Sam of Burston Chapel.

Their wonderful contribution will help keep our shelves stocked over the coming weeks and support people in our local communities.

Helen Youngman, Food Programme Officer, said: “We are incredibly grateful to the children, their families and everyone at Burston Primary School for this wonderfully generous donation. It is heartening to see young people thinking about others in their community and putting the spirit of harvest festival into action.”

A huge thank you to all the pupils, families and staff at Burston Primary School for thinking of others and showing that a little kindness can make a big difference.

🚨 STOP PRESS! 🚨 We’re opening our doors this afternoon for a special pop-up!

We’ve received so many generous donations of fresh produce over the last week that we’re opening The Shelf today, 12pm to 2pm.

Our shelves are stocked with fresh bread, grapes, oranges, mushrooms, tomatoes, venison and beef burgers, eggs, frozen broccoli and pizzas - all looking for new homes.

We’d love to see you!
