She set about getting together a small team from Lifeline Against the Breadline Community Foodbank and CIC.

The prom donations were delivered to Outwood Academy in Adwick for their students to enjoy.
A spokesman said: “Savannah does so much within her community she just absolutely loved collecting all the beautiful gowns.”
An Outwood Academy spokesman said: "After a request for support with prom items from our Year 11 Learning Manager, Savannah and her mum took the campaign to the wider community to raise donations. The following week, they arrived at the academy with lots of dresses, suits and accessories!

Savannah has embodied our ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ culture in ensuring everyone has a special evening to celebrate their time at the academy."
