Before Christmas, the children in Year 4 were very moved by the plight of the homeless in Preston and decided to help by asking the children in school to donate dry food, tins hats and scarves.  The response was overwhelming and everyone was delighted to welcome Major Maggie from the Salvation Army to school to collect the gifts.

The Lancashire Evening Post were also very interested to hear about the children's efforts and wrote a special article about how the children and families at Cuerden Church School were helping others at this special time of year.
