The schoolkids collected food over the past week, which was delivered to the hub by parent and Mid Sussex District Councillor Rachel Cromie (Haywards Heath – Bentswood).

“It’s great to see how much food the school has collected,” she said, adding that it is vital to ensure the larder remains well stocked.

She said: “I’d encourage anyone who is able to support the larder, either by sorting through your cupboards or adding a few items to your shop, to please do so. Your help and support is needed more than ever. The children at St. Wilfrid’s have set a stellar example.”
