A 'virtual' harvest church service led by Colnbrook's vicar Father Darcy Chesterfield-Terry enabled school pupils to stay safe, while celebrating a traditional time of the year.

Father Darcy held the service in Colnbrook's St Thomas Church, while pupils at nearby Colnbrook Church of England Primary School in High Street took part from the safety of their own 'prayer space' at the school.

But there was nothing 'virtual' about the food children brought in on Friday to donate to Slough Foodbank - all items mentioned on the Foodbank's wish list.

The new headteacher at the school Tom Brunson said: "Slough Foodbank is such a worthwhile charity to support, particularly during these difficult times.

“We are part of a wonderful community here at Colnbrook and I am so proud our children understand that many families are struggling and need our help. My thanks go to our children, parents and carers for their generosity and kindness.”
