St Margaret’s Academy support The Whitechapel Centre

Students and staff at St Margaret’s Church of England Academy (SMA) have taken the time to support those in need this Christmas, after collecting and donating a range of items for The Whitechapel Centre.

Working with the charity, the Aigburth-based academy identified what items would be most useful for somebody living on the streets during this time of year.

Over the course of several weeks, the school has donated over 80 large bags packed full with tents, sleeping bags and coats.

Principal of SMA, Stephen Brierley said: “The Whitechapel Centre is a fantastic charity that does an incredible job in this city.

“Our students were very keen to support this cause and give back to those who are in need. Everyone within the school has worked extremely hard to gather these much-needed essential items that will hopefully help make a difference this Christmas”.
