Supporting a worthy cause: A visit from The Haven Wolverhampton
On Tuesday, 6th May, our Life Skills students welcomed Lauren Beaman from The Haven Wolverhampton, who visited to collect the generous donations of toiletries gathered by our students and staff, along with £80 raised through a cupcake sale.
Lauren took the opportunity to speak with the class about the vital work her organisation does to support women and children affected by domestic abuse. The students, who had contributed to the donations, listened attentively and asked thoughtful questions, demonstrating genuine empathy and understanding.
It was a powerful and meaningful experience that helped our learners connect their classroom learning with real-world issues, reinforcing the importance of compassion, community, and standing up for those in need.
The Haven joins me in extending heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the donations. We were able to fill six cardboard boxes with toiletries for The Haven. Special thanks to Siobhan Munger for baking multiple batches of cupcakes, which helped raise £80.
If you are in immediate danger, always call 999.
