Member Sue Young recently attended the Richmond School Awards night to present the Soroptimist Cup for Making a Difference to this year’s recipients. We donated this Cup to be awarded each year to pupils in recognition of outstanding voluntary actions contributing to the school or the local community . This year it was awarded jointly to Amy Salvin, Thomas Greer and Toby Watson. The three of them were inspired by a visit to the Store House foodbank which helps local people who are struggling to feed their families. Amy, Thomas and Toby ran a campaign to raise awareness of this issue in the school. They delivered assemblies and organised quizzes where the entry fee was a food donation. This was a great success, resulting in more than 1000 items being donated to the food bank. Worthy winners of our cup, indeed!
