Heston Community School students raise £400 for the Big Local!

We are proud to announce that Year 9 students at Heston Community School undertaking a 2 year Prince’s Trust qualification raised an amazing £400 for us.
​This was achieved during their week-long pop up shop at lunchtimes (29th April to 3rd May 2019) as part of their Community Project unit. Students Layla Januda, Zainab Hussein, Manroze Purewal, Anna Nisar and Meryam Lemmou decided to raise money for our Kids Fun Club and Family Healthy Cooking Club. The students raised more than their intended target and will soon be visiting us to present a cheque and help decide how the funding will be spent.

"We were really impressed with their work ethic, enthusiasm and excitement."

Our Chair Alan Fraser said: "A massive thank you to students at Heston Community School for raising a whopping £400.  It is great to have more young people particularly from another school.  We certainly look forward to working with students from Heston on future projects."

Taz Virdee added: “We were really impressed with the students work ethic, enthusiasm and excitement. It’s not easy to raise money, especially at school, but they did a remarkable job and we are really proud of them all. Well done everyone!” ​
​
​We would like to thank Mrs Sharan Birk at Heston Community School for her fantastic support and encouragement and their Headteacher Mr Ranjit Berdesha. 

We are delighted to collaborate with the school and look forward to working closely together in the near future with their students.
