A total of 340 Easter eggs donated by pupils and staff at The Park Academies Trust schools in Swindon have been delivered to two charities working to support victims of domestic abuse.
Secondary schools Abbey Park, The Deanery and Highworth Warneford joined forces with Red Oaks, Orchid Vale, Bridlewood and Kingfisher primary schools to organise the collection and donation to Swindon Women’s Aid (now known as Society Without Abuse) and Swindon Domestic Abuse Service (Jenni’s House Refuge – operated by Paragon).
The Easter Eggs have been given to families in the refuge, as well as those being supported in the community.
The collection at Abbey Park School was overseen by teacher Alexandra O’Brien and school librarian Nikki Bowie.
Alexandra O’Brien, a teacher at Abbey Park School, said: ”It’s heartwarming to see just how many easter eggs, sweets and gifts the very generous students and staff have donated.
