Sixth Form pupil Jemima recently took the lead in a charity project across the three Gresham’s Schools. She rallied pupils, staff, and parents to create Christmas shoebox gifts for families and elderly people in the poorest parts of Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, and Romania. The project, part of the Link to Hope Christmas appeal, aims to bring festive cheer to those facing hardship.

The Gresham’s community responded with overwhelming generosity, assembling hundreds of shoeboxes filled with essential items, toys, and holiday treats.

Jemima’s dedication and the incredible support from Gresham’s families have made this initiative a huge success. Thanks to the compassion of everyone involved, these gifts will make a meaningful difference to those in need this Christmas. An enormous ‘thank you’ goes out to all who participated in spreading hope and kindness.
