Generous pupils at Carlton J&I School brought tinned food into school last Friday to donate to elderly and vulnerable residents.
There were countless tins of soup, beans, and other heart-warming food to make the cold season a little easier for those who really need it.
Ann Foster, the school’s business manager, said: “The children brought in so many tins, there are at least 100.”
The collection was held for the SESKU Outreach, which aims to make food and warm clothing available to old people who would otherwise struggle to make ends meet.
Mrs Foster said: “We wanted to get involved as it is helping our community.”
The scheme has drop off points at Moorthorpe Recreation Club, Langthwaite Lane, South Elmsall, the Church House, Barnsley Road, South Kirkby, and the Wrangbrook Club, Wrangbrook Road, Upton.
Anyone who does not live in a neighbourhood usually associated with elderly residents can request a pack by calling Joanne Speight on 07799 117093. For more information, e-mail sesku-outreach@hotmail.co.uk or visit www.facebook.com and search for SESKU Outreach.

Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 03:48 PMYes I totally agree with the above comment. There are definate issues that require investigation, regarding this particular person and her behaviour. This person is very much an unsuitable candidate for any involvement within the community. Following recent events that I am aware of,this person has caused a vast amount of extreme problems for people, that I believe has resulted in police attention. Her behaviour has highlighted on many occasions, that she is nowhere near a stable minded individual. I also strongly advise that the authorities look into the matters surrounding this woman.

The amount of issues revolving round this so called "do gooder" id advise the local authorities to look into this very seriously. from what i gather she is boardering on being Sectioned. due to her adverse mood swings and general behaviour including drink driving. Hardly an upstanding member of community by a long stretch of the imagination! Its like having the Village Idiot in control.
