With Christmas just around the corner, students and staff have come together to donate gifts to two local charities: Christmas Sparkle and The Gift of Giving.

Both charities aim to deliver Christmas gifts to children around Wellington, Taunton and Bridgwater who are experiencing challenges or hardship to ensure they have the memorable festive season that they deserve.

We were delighted to receive so many donations from students and staff this year and it has been great to be able to contribute 11 boxes of gifts to Christmas Sparkle from the senior school alone, and more than 13 shoe boxes full of gifts to The Gift of Giving.

TPS pupils dropped their gifts off to the Christmas Sparkle HQ in person, staying to help wrap presents with the charity’s volunteers, with a total of 148 gifts wrapped in two hours! The pupils were delighted to receive praise for their wrapping skills and their cheerful and polite demeanour from the charity.

If you would like to contribute, please visit Crowdfunding to Provide Christmas gifts for families living in Crisis on JustGiving to donate to The Gift of Giving, and https://www.christmas-sparkle.org/donate.html to donate to Christmas Sparkle.
