Love Christmas - Diocese of Northampton

Love Christmas is a national initiative, connecting people of all faiths, to deliver bags of kindness at Christmas. We would love for St Bernard's Prep to be involved by donating bags of kindness that will then be distributed throughout the community. You can learn more about the initiative on the Diocese's website.

Some ideas of things you could include:

Games and Toys

Sweet treats - mince pies, biscuits, chocolate

Winter clothing - scarves, hat, gloves, socks

Nail varnish, hand cream, luxury toiletries

Playing cards, jigsaw, puzzle book

Colouring books, crayons, pens notebooks

We plan to fill bags in three categories. Please label your bag by colour. 

Family (Blue), Elderly (Red) and Child (Green).  

The deadline for donations is Friday 10th December, please bring in anytime up to this date.
