Christmas Fair helping the homeless

Sprowston Community High School in Norwich has managed to raise £300 for Norwich Open Christmas, following its first ever Christmas Fair. The event which took place on Saturday 1 December 2012, saw around 200 people brave the snowy conditions to enjoy a range of stalls ranging from cupcakes and sweets, to jewellery and festive wreaths.

There were hot refreshments for the adults, which included a free mince pie, and a chance for children to make their very own Christmas tree decoration.

The event concluded with the drawing of a raffle, with many great prizes on offer which were kindly donated by stallholders and volunteers who helped at the event.

Malcolm Johnston the schools Community Events Co-ordinator commented: “At this time of the year it’s important to think of those less fortunate than ourselves, and for that reason Norwich Open Christmas was the ideal charity for us to support with this event”.
