Dear Parents & Carers

At Harvest time we were overwhelmed by the generosity of our families with their gifts for the local community Foodbank. As we approach Christmas, we are thinking again about children and families in need within our local area.

Starting from Monday 13th November, each year group will be filling a box of gifts. Each class will have the box in their classroom for a week. We would be most grateful if your son/daughter could bring in an item from the list below that we can then take to Mrs. Suffern to distribute within our community in time for Christmas. You will see that useful household items are as welcomed as food items:

Suitable items:

· Toiletries – shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shaving foam (but not razors), boxes of tissues, bubble bath, flannels, sponges

· Washing up liquid, laundry washing tablets (boxes/packs of these are split and shared out)

· Gloves, scarves, socks, handkerchiefs, hair accessories, hair brushes, combs

· Small toys, packs of playing cards

· Small sponge/Christmas puddings

· Savoury snacks

· Bags of sweets, chocolate bars, selection boxes

· Packets of biscuits/boxes of mince pies

· Serviettes, crackers

May we politely request that all items are new/unopened, thank you.
