Community Service at Bromsgrove involves pupils from the Upper Fourth through to the Sixth Form. Many undertake a service as part of their Duke of Edinburgh award, but some get involved out of a real desire to make a difference in the community.

The areas of involvement include schools (nursery, first, middle), running a youth club and supporting pupils in lessons at a special school, visiting the elderly, conservation work at a local nature reserve, assisting in charity shops, assisting at an animal sanctuary, humanitarian aid (both working with a charity and producing knitted toys for orphans), a Fair Trade Café, recycling projects and Duke of Edinburgh leadership assistance with younger Bromsgrove pupils.

Much of the excellent work our pupils do is unseen and unsung. By its very nature Community Service is very much to do with building and sustaining relationships with those, sometimes, but not always, more disadvantaged than our pupils. Whilst many undertake a service activity with an eye upon completing the Duke of Edinburgh service requirements, the vast majority receive much more from the experience than simply a tick in a box. They do indeed make a difference and they become better and more complete people as a result.
