SIR – My wife and I would like to say a big thank you through your paper to the pupils and staff of Hanson School.

They have selflessly donated food parcels to the elderly and infirm on the Swain House estate.

We really appreciate this, and it was a pleasant surprise. It will help us enormously in the credit crunch. Thanks again – remember, not all kids are bad.

Mr & Mrs C Reynolds, Haworth Crescent, Swain House
