Staff and students at two Huddersfield schools have been praised for helping the Huddersfield Town Foundation Food Bank Appeal.
Both Salendine Nook High School and Moorlands Primary School organised collections for a great cause and their efforts have drawn praise and thanks from local councillors.
Lindley councillors Cahal Burke, Anthony Smith and Ashleigh Robinson attended Huddersfield Town’s game against Lincoln City to support the schools and recognise their efforts.
The councillors have worked closely with both schools on their social action projects and Democracy Friendly Schools initiatives, which aim to empower young people to make a difference in their communities.
Clr Burke said: “We are incredibly proud of the students and staff at Salendine Nook High School and Moorlands Primary School. Their hard work, dedication and compassion in supporting the Huddersfield Town Foundation Food Bank Appeal are truly inspiring.
“These students are not just learning about democracy and social responsibility; they are actively putting those values into action to help others in need.”
Clr Smith added: “The efforts of these schools have been amazing. It was wonderful to see students showing leadership and working together to support such an important cause.
“Their actions set a great example for others, and their involvement in the Democracy Friendly Schools initiative is helping to create a brighter future for our community.”
Clr Robinson said: “We were so impressed by the enthusiasm and generosity of everyone involved.
“Both schools have done a fantastic job and their contributions will make a meaningful impact on the lives of local families. It’s fantastic to see young people taking such pride in their community.”
The Huddersfield Town Foundation was also praised for its ongoing efforts to support local families and promote positive change.
Clr Burke added: “The Foundation’s work is invaluable. From food bank appeals to initiatives that promote health, education and inclusion, they continue to make a significant and lasting impact on our community.”
Both Salendine Nook High School and Moorlands Primary School have been recognised for their community engagement and for instilling values of leadership and civic responsibility in their students.
The councillors extended their gratitude to everyone involved and encouraged continued support for initiatives that make a positive difference in the local community.
