OUR GIVING TREE
HOW IT WORKS
Pupils will:
1. Collect a label — each label lists a small gift suggestion.
2. Take the label home — if families would like to take part, please source the gift, wrap it, and attach the label.
3. Bring the wrapped gift back to school and place it under the tree.
All gifts will be collected by Break and distributed to local children in need this Christmas. 💛
WHO ARE BREAK?
Break is a Norfolk-based charity that supports children, young people and families across East Anglia who are in or leaving care, have disabilities or complex needs, or whose families are facing difficult circumstances.
Many of the young people they support have had a challenging start in life. Break provides safe and supportive homes and foster families, as well as mentoring, therapy and life-skills support, helping young people to grow in confidence and feel ready for the future.
Break walks alongside young people for as long as they are needed, offering stability, encouragement and trust. By supporting our Giving Tree, we are helping Break to ensure that every young person feels seen, valued and cared for this Christmas.
