Supporting The Well Emergency Foodbank – Sharing Hope Through Generosity
At St Barts, we believe in living well together, showing love, compassion and generosity towards others. As part of our commitment to our school vision, we are proud to support The Well Emergency Foodbank, which provides vital support to individuals and families across Wolverhampton who are experiencing hardship and struggling to afford food.
Our work is inspired by the Bible story Jesus Feeds the 5,000 (John 6:1–14). Through this story, we learn how a small offering, given with generosity and compassion, can make an extraordinary difference when people come together.
Through our regular foodbank collections and the generosity of our children, families and staff, we aim to make a meaningful difference to those in our wider community. We are particularly proud of our Harvest donations in October 2026, which weighed an incredible 522kg – our most generous Harvest collection to date! This wonderful achievement reflects the kindness and generosity of our St Barts family and demonstrates what we can accomplish when we come together to help others.
Our work is also inspired by Jeremiah 29:11, which reminds us of God's promise of hope and a future: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
We want our children to understand that hope is not simply something we wish for; it is something we can help bring to others through our actions. By sharing what we have, caring for those experiencing difficult times and standing alongside families in need, we are helping to make God's hope a reality in our community.
Impact:
This comment by a parcel recipient to one of our drivers shows the impact of your donations:
“You don’t know how much this food parcel means to me, I have no food in the house and the more I think about that the hungrier I become. This will feed my body and my mind - thank you so much!”
Together, through love, compassion and generosity, we are making a difference – sharing God's love, bringing hope for a brighter future and helping everyone to flourish.
