You can help make a difference | Christmas Hamper Appeal

Christmas Hampers

Every year, Haslingden High School and Sixth Form collect generous donations from students, their families, and staff to create hampers that we deliver to our local community.

It’s a year-on-year success, and we are incredibly grateful that our school community helps us to bring a little festive cheer to those who need it most.

So, we are kindly asking for donations of the following:

  • Food items – luxury or staple cupboard foods and snacks, with a shelf life date of at least a few weeks.
    • Tea and coffee
    • Biscuits and puddings
    • Crackers and savoury snacks
    • Jams, honey and chutneys
    • Soft drinks and cordials
    • Tinned foods
    • Chocolates and sweets
  • Household supplies
    • Shower products
    • Cleaning products
    • Festive napkins
  • Small gifts
  • New toys and new women’s pyjamas for women’s refuges.

Please bring to form or take to Ms Southee in B27A.
