One is a national charity and the other a much more local cause, but both very 
much in need of funds.

Students carried out research on charities that support children, and decided to donate a contribution to the NSPCC and local charity Home-Start Lincolnshire.

The thoughtful and hardworking students,
along with their teacher Mrs Donnelly, had donated numerous gifts and items such as toiletries, chocolates and provisions for 
a number of weeks.

These gifts were used to make up a selection of ‘themed’ hampers to act as prizes for a raffle and a tombola. The students sold raffle tickets around college and outside, raising a fantastic £200 which will be split between the charities.

Meanwhile, NatWest bank customers in Louth have generously donated more 
than 100 Easter Eggs to 
Home-Start Lincolnshire.

Fiona Griffin, from Home-Start, said: “I was delighted when branch manager Becky Treasure got in touch and offered us the eggs 
they had collected – and so many of them!

“Thanks to NatWest and their generous customers, the vulnerable children we support enjoyed a lovely surprise over Easter.”
