STUDENTS at the Chase School have once again been raising donations for Malvern Food Bank via a reverse advent calendar.

Students have been bringing in food, toiletries, household goods and Christmas gifts.

Last year students donated 225kg of produce, but this year the donations were even bigger with the students and staff donating a very impressive 240kg.

Head Mike Fieldhouse said: "Once again our students and staff have shown how important their community is to them, and their empathy towards those who are less fortunate than themselves. I am immensely proud of them all; a simple idea that shows the true spirit of Christmas."
