A reminder that we are open tomorrow, 10-2 for you to come and collect any lost property.

As you can see, we have a significant amount of items, some of which we have held for over 12 months.

We no longer have the capacity to store these items so anything unclaimed will be given to charity.

This summer, students across the #OutwoodFamily delivered almost 100 community projects across their local areas through the #OutThere programme! 💜

They told us they wanted to contribute to communities and change misconceptions about young people - and that's what they did! 🤩

These students got #OUTThere this summer!

One group completed litter picking in their local community and the other travelled to Cambodia to support communities building facilities.

Both groups have done amazing things to support other people 💜
