‘Bags of Love’ Donated To Women’s Refuge By Hydesville Tower Pupils

Pupils at Hydesville Tower School in Walsall have donated buddy bags and raised over £180 to help support children who enter emergency care after fleeing violent situations at home.

The initiative was part of Global Be Well Day in September, where pupils filled buddy bags which they called ‘bags of love’ and donated them to the local Women’s Refuge.

The bags were delivered by French teacher Mrs. Dhadda, who expressed her gratitude to all those who donated.

“A huge thank you to pupils and parents for their generosity. We received more than 100 extra items and raised more than £180 for the charity. Every item was delivered to the refuge and the money will be donated to the Buddy Bag Foundation,” said Mrs. Dhadda.

The Women’s Refuge were also delighted.

“I would like to thank each any every person who helped make up the buddy bags for my centre.  It makes our children so happy to receive these rucksacks full of lovely things.  You put smiles on the faces of our children.  Then these children wear these smiles out and about.  This makes other people smile.  You are literally changing the world with your acts of kindness.  Thank you so much….superheroes of Hydesville School!” said a spokesperson.

Pupils and staff at Hydesville Tower School on Broadway North in Walsall are no strangers to helping out charities and regularly come up with new initiatives to fundraise for many important local, national and international organisations.
