Advent calendars are a much-loved tradition in the run up to Christmas, but the reverse advent calendar is becoming increasingly popular — especially during the cost of living crisis.

And they are a great way to start teaching children about social responsibility and getting them to think of others.

This year, the Nelson Academy community went above and beyond to donate a massive amount of items for our local food bank. These were taken to the food bank this morning, in time for the run up to Christmas, for those that need help and support. 

Thank you to everyone who donated and to Miss Leach in the SRB for organising.
