IN a heartwarming display of community spirit, students and staff at St Mark’s West Essex Catholic School have come together to collect an impressive 250kg of food for the Harlow Foodbank.

This generous donation, which is equivalent to 595 meals, will provide vital support to local families in need over the coming weeks.

The collection, organised by the School Council, saw pupils, parents, and teachers contribute a wide range of food and other essential items.

The school’s charitable efforts are a testament to the caring nature of the St Mark’s community. This is a fantastic achievement, and we are so proud of our students for their hard work and generosity.

It is wonderful to see our school community come together to support those who need it most.
