Moorcroft School Volunteer Day 2015

On the 28th of November, we volunteered at Moorcroft School. We had a lovely day and we all enjoyed helping out as shown by the number of people who turned up to offer their help and by the contributions in food for the 69 children we helped serve food to (with a few of our members baking cupcakes and bringing in handmade sandwiches for the children).

The event started out with us bringing some plates, cups and various portions of food to the school and setting up an eating area with everything laid out nicely; this was appreciated by the staff at the school who were also aiding in the event.This occasion was designed to allow the children to have some Christmas fun out of home (with Christmas approaching) and this was achieved by Santa showing up - which the children were overjoyed about- and the festive Christmas music we chose to play in the background (along with the festive attire of some of our number). The various areas of the event we aided in were the raffle drawings, the catering and a nearby food stall for the adults which we think really brought everybody together.

We were all very delighted to have been a part of this successful day and we hope to be able to help out next year!
