🌞 A Fresh Start for Summer! 🌞

We’re pleased to share that Netherstowe is working with Beauty Banks as part of their Stay Fresh Over Summer campaign.

Through this initiative, our students will be able to take home a bag packed with essential toiletries, sun cream, and other everyday items to help them feel confident, comfortable, and prepared for the summer break.

At a time when many families are facing increasing financial pressures, support like this can make a real difference, ensuring students have access to the essentials they need throughout the holidays.

If any of our students feel that they, or their family, may need additional support with essential items over the summer, please speak to a member of the Safeguarding Team or your Head of Year. We are here to help and can provide advice and support in a confidential and supportive way.

A huge thank you to Beauty Banks for their partnership and for helping us support the wellbeing of young people in our community. 💙
