Once again, The Gateway Academy took part in the annual Christmas Shoe Box Appeal.

This is organised by Samaritan’s Purse and is aimed at children who are the victims of war, famine, poverty and natural disasters.

60 boxes were collected from tutor groups and individual members of staff and students for this worldwide appeal. This year our boxes have gone to children in Bosnia and Romania. For many of them it will be their first experience of opening a present at Christmas.
