Padiham’s Shuttleworth College student organises non-uniform day for BFC in the Community food bank
The event, which included a pupil in an inflatable dinosaur costume, was a huge success and saw a generous donation of food items also handed over to the BFC in the Community foodbank.
A pupil’s inspired idea to hold a non uniform day, to boost donations at a food bank, was a great success.
Jack Buck, a year nine student at Padiham’s Shuttleworth College, made a heartfelt appeal to the headteacher, Miss Lightfoot, for the day to take place to support the BFC in the Community food bank.
With the help of teachers, Mr Kilburn and Mrs Turner, Jack organised the day, which was a huge success and even included a pupil in an inflatable dinosaur costume.
The day raised £663 and a generous donation of food items that Jack was proud to hand over.
A spokesman for the school said: “ We are incredibly proud of Jack's hard work and the community spirit shown by our students, staff and families.”
