As Christmas approaches during these unprecedented times, the students and staff of St Edward’s College would like to remember those less fortunate than ourselves. Over the coming weeks, we will be teaming up with Claire House Children's Hospice on their ‘Mission Christmas’ appeal and we would be very grateful for your support.

In previous years, we were able to collect gift donations to be given to children who are facing a difficult time over the Christmas holiday. Unfortunately, the hospice is not permitted to collect items this year due to COVID restrictions. 

Therefore, in lieu of gift donations, we have set up a dedicated fundraising page to raise money for the hospice, to ensure that the children and their families can still get the support they need during the Christmas period. Alternatively, cash donations will be accepted in a sealed envelope by the General office until the end of Advent term.

After such a difficult year, your help is needed more than ever to bring Christmas to the children, so please donate what you can! Share the fundraising link with your family, friends and whoever you think might want to help. We thank you in anticipation of your support in making this Christmas special for those children who are facing a very difficult time. Any amount that you can give will be greatly appreciated; just knowing that the St Edward’s College community is thinking of them will mean so much to the charity and those they care for.
