We, alongside Wates, surprised children of St Paul’s primary, near Sussex Place, to give them Christmas hampers.
Wates led on this initiative with contractor Ropes Access as part of their social value work.
They had staff dress up as Santa, elves and the grinch to take 150 hampers over to the kids at St Paul’s who were delighted to see them and receive their presents.
We usually get the Santas to abseil down the building but unfortunately this wasn’t possible this year – but we were delighted to still bring so much Christmas cheer!
Every child at the school received a gift and those left over were donated to our Christmas gift appeal to be delivered to residents in our homeless hostels and women and children fleeing domestic violence who live in our refuges.
