Harvest for homelessness
HOMELESS people in Worthing are to benefit from lots of tinned foods and other goodies, thanks to Durrington Middle School's annual harvest festival.
With the event's theme "our community of Durrington", children decided to donate the produce they collected to Worthing Churches Homeless Projects. On Thursday, they welcomed the project's public relations manager, Alison Godfrey, to school to collect the food.
The children also celebrated harvest by listening to a talk from a Durrington resident about what he would be harvesting in his garden, and members of the school's literacy club produced a book of poems about homeless people.
Teacher Catherine West, who helped co-ordinate the harvest festival, said: "It went very well and the poems the children wrote were very moving."
