Reverse Advent 2024

The King Alfred School Academy has launched their yearly "Reverse Advent" campaign.
The campaign encourages students to donate much needed food, drink and other essential household items to the local Food bank.

This is the seventh year the school has supported the Food bank through the Reverse Advent campaign and it is especially important this year as the demand is now higher than ever.

One of our staff members said that, "The Food bank needs donations more than ever before and already our amazing students, families and staff are busy making sure this is a huge success. Thank you especially to our fantastic sixth form students, and most notably to our Student Union President Eleanor Partington for organising this’’.

“I am proud to be a part of the King Alfred School Academy, working with an amazing team of people who are trying to make a difference every day to our community’’

“If you are able to, please donate an item to the food bank trollies until the project ends on Thursday, 19th December.”

The sixth form students will be on the gates with the reverse advent trollies every morning. The 'BanktheFood' app highlights essential items to ensure all food banks have exactly what they need and we will be sharing this information with students at the start of every week. Please donate whatever you feel you can.
