Stockport Academy Charity Group celebrates Christmas with Socially Yours
Our Charity Group brought Christmas and smiles to some of Stockport’s residents who need a friend over the festive period.
Every year, our students visit the Socially Yours Christmas Party to deliver food hampers to its members and of course this year was no exception.
They met at the Thyme For Food Café in Edgeley to share a bite to eat, exchange gifts and sing Christmas Carols together.
The charity works to support members of the Edgeley and Cheadle Heath community who might find themselves alone a lot of the time, helping them to make new friends and spend time in good company.
Pastoral Manager Mrs McCann, who oversees the Charity Group, said: “We love spending time with Socially Yours and it’s great for our students to see some of the fantastic work they do and the difference they make.
“One lady told us she hadn’t been out of her home in four years and today was her first trip outside. She made it specifically to meet our students, so they can see first-hand the good they are doing by making an effort to reach out to members of the community in need.
“I would like to thank Socially Yours for inviting us once again and we hope you all have a very merry Christmas!”
