A bundle of handmade thank-you cards from pupils at John Chilton School in Northolt will be shared with local senior citizens by Acton charity Descendants.
The primary school pupils made the cards during last month’s Black History Month after learning how African and Caribbean people helped rebuild England after the Second World War. They wanted to thank people who are helping their own community today.
John Chilton School teacher Iona Bullard sent the cards to Margaret Noel, founder and director of Descendants. In a letter to the charity, she wrote that many of the pupils “greatly benefit from the dedication and support of people like yourselves who continue to serve our local community today”.
Descendants has supported children, young people and families in the borough for more than 30 years, with a focus on African and Caribbean history and culture.
Ms Noel said she was “humbled to receive these beautiful cards” and planned to pass them on to local senior citizens.
