AN appeal has been launched in Bridport to help the young people who are attending school hungry. 

The new 'Colfox Fund' has been set up to provide breakfast and other much-needed items to help students at the Sir John Colfox Academy whose families are struggling. 

Adam Shelley, Headteacher of the Sir John Colfox Academy in the town, said: “We are increasingly worried about some of our students who are coming to school without breakfast and facing the school day hungry, so we decided to start the Colfox Fund to help provide the things that our students need, including food, shoes, and other equipment.
 

“We know Bridport is a very kind place, so far we have just shared our appeal with our parents and carers and we have already had a very generous response, thank you to everyone who has already donated.
