y La Gran Recogida 2026
En The British School of Gran Canaria nos esforzamos por garantizar que cada alumno sienta un profundo sentido de pertenencia, propósito y orgullo de quién es. Guiados por nuestro lema —Sé amable, sé valiente, sé tú mismo (Be Kind, Be Brave, Be You)— formamos a jóvenes compasivos, seguros de sí mismos y curiosos, capacitados para contribuir de manera positiva y construir un mundo mejor.
Every donation here helps more than one hundred families in real need of a helping hand. The Food Project in Mogán receives no local government assistance, and so rent their own community facility with grass roots donations and occasional small grants from the Cabildo de Gran Canaria island council. They are recognised and supported by The Food Bank of Las Palmas, but their vital work survives only thanks to your generosity.
The project is volunteer-led and provides a life line for more than 300 individuals every week, doing much more than just feeding empty bellies: they act as a vital community hub coordinating donations of food and clothing, shoes, furniture, mobility equipment, and also employ a professional social worker whose goal is to guide each individual family through their life projects… and they do so much more besides… here is a little window on to what they have to spend…
€10 – contributes to their gaining access to a social worker to help find work, training, education and extra help
€30 – supplements a family of 3 for a week with fresh produce
€50 – helps buy shoes and clothing for kids going Back To School
€100 – is enough to organize a computer for families without access to technology, or pay transportation costs for moving furniture, or a range of other much needed assistance all provided by The Food Project.
€500 – buys milk, potatoes, juices and fresh vegetables for one week to supplement the rice and pasta etc provided by The Food Bank in Las Palmas
€1000 – helps pay for a part-time social worker to directly assist individuals and families who have no access to legal advice or ways to escape extreme poverty
€2000 – pays the building rent for one month
