Mission Christmas 2017

Hi it’s Nicole again! Today Abi and I counted up all the donations submitted for Mission Christmas and there’s a total of 77 presents, beating last year’s total! Two big boxes were filled of generous gifts, including knitwear, children’s books, jigsaws and Lego.

Mission Christmas is a charity event created by HallamFM, which encourages people to buy one extra gift at Christmas for children living in poverty. 1 in 4 children are living in poverty, and those children do not usually have anything to unwrap on Christmas Day. But thanks to Mission Christmas, we can make a difference to their Christmas experience. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s collection, we gathered such a variety of gifts for ages 1 to 18 years old. Due to this amazing outcome, we are planning on continuing this event next year.
