This week, selected Year 6 and Year 7 students were lucky enough to be invited by Barings, City of London to assist in making meal preparations for local schools.

Barings is a global asset management firm that partners with clients, and supports leading businesses with financing solutions. They are passionate about their initiative called Barings Social Impact which supports communities where they work and live.

Chobham students spent the afternoon with some Barings associates who also volunteered to give up their time to help. Everyone was allocated something to do - from labelling food containers, filling containers with pasta and sauce, counting items, and finally packaging finished containers into boxes ready for delivery.

The target of making 800 meals was easily achieved with all hands on deck. It was not all work as the students also managed to get an insider view of what work life is like at an investment bank from the associates. Overall, the students enjoyed their time and everyone felt good as it was all for a worthy cause!

The students absolutely loved the experience. As we were leaving, a student commented, "I feel so accomplished", which captured the impact beautifully. Thank you to Barings for making this opportunity possible.
