OAP Christmas Buddy and Hamper Donations

This year, in lieu of the annual OAP Christmas party, and in light of its success last year, Sixth Form students are continuing with a Christmas Buddy scheme this festive season.

 

As part of the scheme, Sixth Form Students are paired up with an elderly member of the Saffron Walden community who they call up on a weekly basis over the Christmas period. The aim of the scheme is to reduce loneliness amongst the elderly and improve relations between the young and the old.

 

The students will also deliver a Christmas hamper to their elderly buddy.

 

We are looking to for both physical and monetary donations that we can use to purchase items for the Hampers.

 

Any donations will be gratefully received.

 

Thank you so much for all your support and generosity.

 

This scheme is being organised by the SWCHS Student Union.
