Kind hearted Burnley schoolchildren donate stacks of food and clothes to help vulnerable families
and live on Freeview channel 276
Students and their parents at St Mary Magdalene's RC Primary School donated enough items of food, clothing and baby items to fill two wheelie bins.
The collection was organised by Mrs Kelly Barnes, the school's pupil and family support worker, after a request came in from a parent who works for Calico ,which is in partnership with Burnley Together.
