The students at St Gregory's Catholic Science College, Harrow, have been instrumental in supporting 150 guests on Sunday afternoons at Ealing Soup kitchen. The pupils have committed hundreds of hours volunteering their time helping out those who are vulnerable and in need of very fundamental assistance. The work is not glamorous or for the faint-hearted. But they give the human touch, meeting, greeting and conversing with the people. Their teacher says that “they represent the very best of their generation and are inspirational leaders”.
