The alternative school in Burleigh Street held a Christmas Fair where they invited staff and families of students to donate wrapped gifts to place under the Christmas tree. These were then donated to Pendleside Hospice.

The gifts were collected from the school by Jo Applegate on behalf of the hospice who met with event organisers, Steve Farrell and Jenifer Kindle.
