This morning, the items were taken to St Cuthberts SVP, a foodbank who open their doors every Monday to well in excess of 60 needy people many of whom have had their benefits stopped or reduced by paying back ‘hardship loans’; a vicious circle for many vulnerable people and families with young children. These numbers increase dramatically as the weather gets colder and Christmas approaches. Each week St Cuthbert’s give out bags of food, toiletries and sandwiches to those in need. When funds permit they also give a £4 food voucher to spend on food at the local Premier store. They are totally dependent on donations of food from local churches and the goodwill of many generous people. Anne who runs the foodbank said “Our needy truly appreciate Kirkham Grammar’s generosity and kindness. Thank you to you all". ![](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/images/news/IMG_6884.JPG) **Tags:** [2019-2020](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2019-2020) [charity](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/charity) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2019-12-11-level-1-swimming-teaching-qualification-for-imogen-kirsty) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2019-12-11-kgs-pupil-kyle-stars-in-christmas-advert) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
