School hears how Chester Muslim Sisters Association helps foodbanks

Children enjoyed hearing about the important work that the charity is doing to support the foodbanks as well as learning about Ramadan and Eid.

The Firs families will also be collecting food donations which will dropped off at the school and then be sorted by the Chester Muslim Sisters Association and distributed, partly to West Cheshire Foodbank and also to those in need in the wider community of Chester directly.

The collection will conclude on Wednesday, March 27, aligning with the expected end of Ramadan on Wednesday, April 10.

David Girvan, headteacher at The Firs School , said: "The Firs School community is proud to come together in support of the food bank initiative organised by the Chester Muslim Sisters Association.

"This collection not only reflects the spirit of unity and compassion but also serves as a testament to the values of empathy and generosity that we strive to instil in our students.

"We have a very diverse school community and celebrate all cultures. We are very proud of the people in our school community who, along with their families, will be participating in fasting throughout this Holy Month.

"By inviting CMSA in, and running this initiative, there has been a marked increase in conversation around these celebrations and understanding of other people's faiths. It also helps our children not only learn about the importance of giving back but also contribute to making a positive impact on the wider community and that together, we can make a difference and exemplify the true essence of community and care."
