The only thing holding him back from running the school cross-country was not having sneakers.
Thanks to the Nike shoes, Mark was able to lace up & participate in cross-country.

How Your Donation Makes a Difference for Families Like Layla’s
Thanks to the generosity of Good360, we were able to supply brand-new NIKE clothing and shoes, helping the boys return to school with confidence. Additional donated items mean both teens will receive a Christmas gift this year — something Layla feared would not be possible.
The Power of a Book: How One Gift Transformed a Teacher’s Classroom
Our incredible teachers were gifted The Home Edit hard cover book, kindly donated from Hachette and one teacher commented as she read the front cover saying ” wow, I will be reading this to inspire me in my home organisation as well as my classroom”
Many teachers had seen the TV show on Netflix and were very happy to have their own version of the book.
another teacher was thrilled and already telling us some of her new ideas inspired from looking through the book.
One teacher told me that ” she had seen the show, but didn’t know where to start with organising her storeroom, so this book was the blessing that she asked for.
Even the male teachers were keen to share the book with their partners but also get tips for their classroom
From a Simple Wipe to a Moment of Care
“When you’re struggling to cover the basics, something like this means more than people realise. Finding free wipes here at church reminds me that God hasn’t forgotten us, and that this community sees our needs. It’s a small thing, but it lifts a real burden and lets me care for my children with dignity.”

Building Digital Confidence and Access
As an international student completing my 500-hour social work placement at Churchill
Neighbourhood Centre, I struggled to manage my academic and placement responsibilities without a reliable computer. My old laptop had become extremely slow. It froze often, crashed in the middle of assessments, and took a long time to open even basic documents. This made it difficult to keep up with LPAR reflections, case notes, supervision records and university assessments, even when I was well organised.
Because placement is unpaid and international students are limited in the number of hours we can legally work, securing steady employment during full-time placement was very challenging. My previous workplace also had no shifts available after 4 pm, which meant I could not maintain consistent income. With most of what I earned going toward rent, groceries, transport and essential living costs, replacing my laptop was simply not possible.
Nathan at Churchill Neighbourhood Centre noticed I was having difficulty and generously provided me with a MacBook so I could complete my university and placement work properly. Having a reliable device made an immediate difference. I was able to finish reports and assessments on time, prepare presentations efficiently, and stay on track with both placement and academic expectations.
This laptop still supports me every day. I rely on it for writing assessments, completing case notes, attending online supervision, and doing the research required for my social work degree. It has become an essential tool that enables me to meet the demands of my course and maintain the quality of my work on placement.

Good360 – Making a Difference
So many children in care or crisis go without basics such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Some have never owned a toothbrush before.
This donation makes a huge difference in helping provide these children with essential oral hygience products most of us take for granted.
Learning through Lego!
As a teacher, seeing our students engage with LEGO during lessons has been truly inspiring. It provides a hands-on, playful way for children to develop their creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. LEGO turns learning into an adventure, making abstract concepts tangible and fun. We’re grateful for this resource, as it enriches our teaching and helps students build confidence through play.
