Janine Jesse, Business Relationship Manager at Santander has asked us to include a shout-out for support the Wood Street Mission.

Doing well at school is key to breaking the cycle of poverty but many families struggle to afford the correct school uniform which means children can be bullied in the playground, lack confidence and feel isolated. 

Wood Street Mission are launching a campaign to collect school uniforms, sports kits and stationary for disadvantaged children and teenagers.

Janine and the wider business team at Santander will be busy collecting from Monday 8th July over the Summer with delivery to the mission on Friday 16th August. 

Items are preferably new but excellent second hand (no name tags) clothes will also be accepted.  Items can be dropped off at the Santander branch on Stamford New Road The Altrincham Santander branch will be a collection date between the 8th and the 14th.
