Assisted Christmas Shopping Day
21 Sixth Form students offered to act as volunteers at a Christmas shopping event on Thursday, 19th November 2015 in Uxbridge High Street. During the day they assisted elderly people with their Christmas shopping. The event was organised by the town centre minister and we were one of several secondary schools that had been asked to support on the day.
After assisting the guests with their shopping, the students took their elderly guest to the Middlesex Suite at Uxbridge Civic Centre for a Christmas lunch. Everyone, including volunteers and accompanying staff, were treated to a meal. Whilst all guest ate their lunch, local primary schools sang Christmas carols.
A special guest made an appearance and presented each elderly person with a Christmas gift to complete a lovely day.
