Christmas Hamper Appeal
Thank you to everyone who brought in goods for Sustain’s Hamper campaign – as ever we were very moved by the scale of the support. As the Year 8 pupils helped to deliver and sort the donations, Pastor Neil Durling impressed upon them how important the bags are to help those in the area who otherwise might have nothing on Christmas morning. He advised them to appreciate all the chances they get at the school, not to hold on to them tightly but to share them with the world – just as they were doing at that moment.
We received this message from Emma and Jemma at TBC:
Please extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Hilden Grange who so generously supported our Christmas Hamper campaign. Thank you also to the senior pupils and staff who did a wonderful job unpacking the donations and then repacking them into Hampers. They were a credit to their school.
We will be distributing around 300 Hampers to local low-income families and estimate that at least 60 of these came from Hilden Grange’s donations which is absolutely fantastic and incredibly generous.
We wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
