Every year, at Christmas time, the children at Seaham Trinity Primary School are asked what gift they would give to those less fortunate than themselves. Last year many of the children said they would give the gift of friendship and wished that everyone had a home to go to. This year pupils decided to collect small change to raise money for the Salvation Army Homeless Appeal. Each class has had a money jar which will be counted every month to see which class has raised the most money. Anyone who would like to help us can donate their small change by popping their money into one of the jars at the Reception at Seaham Trinity School.

A Wellbeing for Life event will be held on Friday from 10am to 2pm in East Lea Community Centre, Eastlea Road.
