Heartwarming generosity for Harvest Festival

Bridgewater School Harvest Festival

The Prep Hall was brimming with goodness today for Harvest Festival, with generously donated food parcels of all shapes and sizes filling the tables ready to be shared with local charity, Salford Loaves and Fishes.

The charity works to address homelessness in and around Salford, supporting people in need with food parcels or a healthy home-cooked meal in a warm and safe environment.

Bridgewater pupils joined the wider community at St. Mark’s Church, Worsley for the Harvest Festival Service, where harvest songs were performed by all age groups as well as our wonderful Preparatory Choir.

Following the service, pupils assisted the School team in loading the minibus with the donations, ready to be taken to Loaves and Fishes for distribution.

Said Mr Rooney, Deputy Head: “Once again, the generosity of the Bridgewater pupils and parents was overwhelming and we cannot thank everyone enough for their support.”

For us, achievement means so much more when it is coupled with true enjoyment.
