This morning, the festive cheer and Christmas spirit filled New College Worcester! Each year, Mrs Connor leads our annual Christmas Shoebox Collection, encouraging students, staff, parents and carers to donate toys, personal care items, school supplies and fun gifts for Operation Christmas Child. These boxes bring joy to children around the world who are less fortunate, ensuring they receive a special Christmas gift.

This year, we are delighted to announce a record-breaking 19 shoeboxes packed full of beautiful gifts! We also had the pleasure of welcoming Sue from Samaritan’s Purse, who joined us as the boxes began their journey to corners of the earth.

Sixth Form student Kyla was especially excited to see the shoeboxes stacked high and ready to be delivered to the charity.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire NCW community for coming together, spreading festive cheer and making a difference this Christmas.
