The students of Purple Class recently embarked on a heartwarming community mission, swapping their classroom for the aisles of their local supermarket. This "Community Access" trip wasn't just about learning life skills; it was a dedicated charity effort to support their local foodbank. Equipped with personalised visual shopping lists, the students successfully navigated the store to select essential items for those in need.

Key Highlights of the Trip

The Mission: Using visual aids featuring icons for everyday essentials like toilet roll, tinned fish, and laundry products, the students independently located and collected items requested by the local foodbank.

Community Engagement: Beyond just shopping, the students interacted with store staff and fellow shoppers, practicing important social skills in a real-world setting.

Charitable Impact: Every item purchased will be delivered to the foodbank collection point, helping to provide much-needed support for local families.

Skill Building: The outing focused on building independence, from navigating store layouts to managing budgets and checking out at the till.
