My Y12 politics class have been continuing the work for their community-focused campaign, despite the limitations COVID-19 has presented with the country being in lockdown. They’ve been focused on how they can still make a difference to our community here at XP, and would like to provide a little more information about the kindness boxes that school are preparing and sending out.
I’d like to appreciate Tom Austwick, for producing this blog post:
With the recent outbreak of the coronavirus, the entire social landscape of this country has changed. Everybody is doing their best to keep themselves and those around them safe. These are trying times for all of us and this means it’s never been more important to help people in the community than now.
We have all taken a hit from the lockdown however, sadly, some have been hit harder than others. This is why our school is organising a scheme which is offering kindness boxes to the families of our students who may be struggling in these testing times. These boxes will contain food, toiletries, treats and some other items which will ensure that your family keep safe.
Unlike the school voucher scheme, you do not need to meet any requirements to receive one of these kindness boxes. All you need to do to acquire one of these boxes is to get in contact with your child’s crew leader, and give us a list of any dietary requirements and things that you need. You can get these boxes delivered to you by arranging with a crew leader.
There is absolutely no shame in anybody asking for help and we urge anyone who feels they need a helping hand, as many of us do at the moment, to get in contact with us.
It would be our pleasure to help.
I’d like to appreciate Tom for the time and effort he’s put into writing this, it goes to show how we are still able to live by the character traits beyond the classroom. I’d also like to reiterate his point that as we enter week 10 of lockdown, that XP are here to support you. Don’t be afraid to get in touch.
