Since September our compassion group have been working hard to raise awareness of issues within our community and have collected 400kg of food for Thurrock Food Bank and raised money for local homeless shelters by selling and delivering candy canes and teddies. 

The Mental Health Ambassadors have held events for world mental health day, anti bullying week and are currently working on a project to look at resilience and wellbeing with year 7 students.

Our latest project is to spread love and kindness across The Gateway Academy in preparation for Valentine’s day with roses, sweets and other presents available and kindness nominations for staff and students.  Any money raised will also go towards the Thurrock food bank and other homeless charities.
