Christmas Hamper Hand Over to Lawrence House
Sixth Form students spread a little festive cheer for residents at Lawrence House, Hinckley.
Our annual Christmas collection for Lawrence House took place on Thursday when Sixth Form students once again took a moment to focus on others over the festive period.
Students worked in their tutor groups to create a bag full of gifts for one of the young men or women staying at Lawrence House, part of the Hinckley Homeless Group. These thoughtful gifts ranged from toiletries and hot chocolate, to sweets, chocolates and warm winter items, with students putting a lot of time and thought into their festive goodie bags.
Paula Tomkins, Sixth Form Pastoral Leader commented, “as the young people in Lawrence House are between 16 – 25 years of age it is a cause particularly close to our students’ hearts. They have really thought about what it must be like to be in someone else’s shoes and have all worked together to create a truly special gift bag to put a smile on someone’s face. It is great to know that our students’ acts of kindness will make a real difference to this small local charity and the community members it supports.”
Everybody here at The Hinckley Sixth Form would like to wish all the residents of Lawrence House a very 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year' and hope they enjoy their goodie bags full of festive cheer!
