Take part in our Reverse Advent Calendar to collect and donate vital items for people experiencing extreme hardship in our local community.

It is a simple concept.

In the run up to Christmas, we would like each tutor group try to fill a cardboard box with all kinds of things that men, women and children in St Helens urgently need.

Suggested donations include

• Unwrapped gifts suitable for all age groups, including books, DVDs, games, colouring books (for children and adults), jigsaws etc
• Unopened toiletries for men and women (such as body wash, moisturiser, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, alcohol-free mouth wash, toothbrushes, perfume, make up bags etc)
• Warm clothing (new or good quality second hand) such as gloves, scarves, hats, socks. Or if you’re feeling really generous pyjamas, dressing gowns and slippers
• Decorative ornaments, to make a house a home
• No food, alcohol or toy weapons please.

Please don’t wrap the donations but feel free to include gift bag/s if you’d like to.

If each student in every tutor group could bring in at least one item during advent we could make a massive difference to the lives of many people in our local community.

Thank you in advance.
