PUPILS and their families at Grays Convent School have put together more than 50 shoeboxes containing hats and gloves, toys, sweets, colouring pencils and more for less fortunate children around the world.

The shoeboxes were delivered to Grays Baptist Church, which then despatches them.

Mr G Williams, deputy headteacher, said: “It’s wonderful to see all the families and churches working together to show the love of Christ to those in need.

Thank you to all.”
