Every form in the school created their very own Christmas Hamper, which they decorated in their very own Christmas theme and every student then donated an item to put in the hamper. The range of items donated included chocolates, biscuits, tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate, marmalade, jam, tinned food, toiletries, socks and festive items.
When all of these small items come together in one hamper – it becomes a very generous and appreciated gift at a time of year when some people may be lonely. It has been a very difficult time for many residents at The Minstrels Care Home who may have limited contact with family or friends over the festive period so this act of kindness is much appreciated.
