Three Rochdale organisations have shared how donations from Falinge Park High School will help them combat food poverty in the borough.
The school recently made three donations of £800 to Action Together, the Nigeria Community Association and Caring and Sharing. The money was raised by the school’s staff and students this past year, and a large portion will go towards combatting food poverty in the borough.
