Rotary shoebox gifts

Before Christmas we filled shoeboxes of gifts for children and families in need around the world.

Mr Ansell launched the shoebox appeal with an assembly.

Shoebox Assembly

Rotarians George Larkey and Geoff Furzland attended the Christmas Concert and thanked everyone for making the gifts.

Presenting the gifts

The boxes are filled with many useful items and toys which Rotary will send to children in need  from different parts of the world.

Mr Larkey returned with his colleagues Terry Monk and Colin Davies to start the 80+ boxes on their journey. The boxes containing gifts, toys and useful items are being shipped overseas.

Gifts to the world from UJS

Mr Woodford, aided by representatives from Year 6, handed the boxes over to the local Rotarians who will forward them to the team that ships them overseas. The President and members of the Rotary Club of Hornchurch and Upminster said 'we would like to thank all the UJS children and families for supporting the scheme and spreading joy around the world.'
