Caythorpe Scout Group donates to Grantham Foodbank

Last Thursday evening our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts celebrated the end of the Autumn Term with a Christmas party.

The plan had been to hold a ‘fuddle’, with everyone contributing food, sweet treats and drinks to share. However a very kind parent who owns a pizza take-away offered to supply pizzas for everyone! Of course we very politely (and quickly!) accepted the offer… but also still asked parents to gift any packaged food that they could, so we could in turn donate it to the Grantham Foodbank.

We were amazed to collect a huge bag and even ‘huger’ box of food and drink, so on Friday morning we set off to the Foodbank to donate our wares.

In total we gave 68kg of food, which is pretty incredible!

Thank you to everyone who contributed, as you can see from the attached certificate, our donations were greatly received.
