Reverse Advent 2024

18 Nov 24

We are delighted to announce that we will be running a Reverse Advent again this year on Tuesday 3 December. Please bring in all donations to Tutor Time. They will then be collected by Tutor Reps to be delivered to our collection point where Prefects will organise all donations ahead of packing and delivery.

Unlike a normal advent calendar, which typically involves the receipt of something each day, such as chocolate, the focus of a Reverse Advent is on giving instead, with a view to helping people who are less fortunate than ourselves at Christmas.

As part of the Reverse Advent, we will be taking donations of the following items:

Tinned Food	Other Food	Drinks	Xmas Treats	Other Items
Sugar Meat Fish, e.g. Salmon Baked Beans Spaghetti Hoops Soup Vegetables Fruit Rice Pudding Custard	Breakfast Cereal Instant Mash Potato Sponge Pudding Dried Pasta Dried Rice Cooking Sauces Chocolate Bars Jam Custard Sauces, e.g. Ketchup Cheese Biscuits Crisps	UHT Milk Squash Long Life Fruit Juice 1 Litre Bottles Cola Hot Chocolate Tea Bags Instant Coffee	Stuffing Cranberry Sauce Gravy Selection Box Christmas Pudding Mince Pies Christmas Cake Jars of Chutney Box of Biscuits Shortbread	Toilet Roll Sanitary Towels Shampoo Shower Gel Deodorant Toothpaste Washing Up Liquid

Following the success of our hampers last year, we are looking to use donations to make Christmas hampers that will be gifted to families within our school community who may be experiencing financial hardship. Any remaining items will be donated to local food banks. If you are on a low income and facing financial hardship due to the higher cost of living, please click here to complete a form to let us know that you wish to be considered for a Christmas hamper. The form will close on Friday 29 November 2024. Requests can also be made via your child’s Head of Year.
