Students, staff and families at St Luke’s Church of England School have come together to support people experiencing homelessness in Exeter.
The school worked in partnership with Smile at a Stranger – Help for the Homeless Devon, a volunteer-led group that collects, coordinates, and distributes donations across the county.
Students packed shoeboxes with essential items such as warm clothing, toiletries and small treats, which were then passed on to charities and organisations working directly with people in need. The donations provided comfort, dignity and practical support during difficult times.
The project reflects St Luke’s commitment to kindness, compassion and social responsibility, encouraging pupils to think about others and the difference they can make in their community.
As a Church of England school and part of the Ted Wragg Trust, St Luke’s aims to support pupils’ academic, social, physical and spiritual development, helping them to flourish both in and beyond the classroom.
Mr Harrison Littler, headteacher at St Luke’s C of E School, said:
“We are so proud of our students, staff and families for coming together to support this important cause. It’s wonderful to see our community making a real difference for people in need.”
