The principal of a West Belfast primary school said he continues to be blown away by the generosity of the community, but fears that parents in his school may be going hungry in order to feed their kids.
Paddy McCabe has been principal of St Oliver Plunkett, on the Glen Road, for ten years, having gone through the highs and lows of working in the education sector. Now he fears that the cost-of-living crisis is crippling families, and wants to do all he can to help minimise stress.
At the doors of the school, what once was an empty box, is now almost overflowing with donations of food and toiletries. Those donations will go to the North West Foodbank on the Stewartstown Road, and then into the homes of local people in need.
