Support for Parents

Clothes Bank

At Giles Junior we are lucky enough to work closely with some of our amazing local charities including Stevenage Clothes Bank and Stevenage Food Shed. We understand that due to the current financial climate
families are feeling the pinch more than ever before. If you require any support from these organisations, please contact Mrs Smith our Family Support Worker who will be happy to submit a referral on your behalf.
