Abbeywood Community School

Food for the Community

So far this term, we have made over 285 doorstep deliveries of food packages to our families.  We would like to pass on our continued thanks to members of the Olympus community, FareShare South West, Morrisons and Asda whose generosity and support have made this possible.

This scheme will continue for the period of need during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Given the ongoing demand for doorstep deliveries, we will endeavour to continue the scheme on a weekly basis throughout the entire 6 week summer holiday i.e. 17th July-1st September 2020.

Many families are receiving deliveries on an ongoing basis via members of our volunteer team.  For the next six weeks, we ask that requests be made for the entire 6-week block (17th July-1st September).  If you would like a regular delivery throughout the holiday please submit an email to the FoodSupport@olympustrust.co.uk  address.  Remember to include the following information;

Your full name (first name, surname):

Your child’s full name (first name, surname):

Your child’s school:

Your contact telephone number:

Your address (please include full postcode):

Details of dietary requirements/allergies (if applicable):

Details of any specific essential items you may require (see below):

 

 Your e-mail to FoodSupport@olympustrust.co.uk will be handled in a secure, discreet, supportive and personalised way.

In support of your request, it is possible that a member of staff from your child’s school or Olympus Trust will make contact with you to discuss this.

Whilst we are unable to deliver bespoke packages of food and supplies, we do currently have the capacity to provide targeted essential items such as sanitary products, washing powder and basic toiletries.  If you would benefit from a donation of any of these items (or similar), please add written details of these in your email request.

This scheme is made possible through the fantastic support offered by everyone in our community.  Should you wish to donate to the scheme, you can do so in the following way:

We would be grateful if you could label as “donation” when transferring money so that we can identify the payments as they come in. 

During the holiday, we are suspending (temporarily) the collection of donated goods to the reception areas of Bradley Stoke Community School and Winterbourne Academy.

Thank you in anticipation of your ongoing support – this will be significant for families in our communities who will be in need.
