Please see below a variety of support available to families.
Food Bank
The School are in partnership with the Harlow Food Bank and can supply food parcels for those in need. Please speak with a member of staff on the gate or e-mail us for further details.
Kids Eat Free
Please see the attached flyer listing places where children can eat free over the summer holidays.
Bounty Club
The Bounty Club is a low-cost outlet of short-life fresh food that has been operating for around 5 months. Up to 100 households a day are now taking advantage of supporting their weekly shop with a £2.50 bag of items worth around £25 that they pick up from wholesalers daily.
This is helping those who used the Foodbank to loosen their dependency on the service (or preventing others from needing it) at a time when money is short to most of us.
Users can go to the Bounty Club once a week. A household cannot use the Bounty Club and the Foodbank in the same week. It needs no referral. Click on the link above for further information.
