Christmas is all about community spirit and we need your help once again to make our 2025 present drive the biggest yet.

Last year, due to the incredible generosity of supporters and 100Club partners, we were able to make our biggest ever delivery.

We packed a bus full with presents and hit the city’s roads with Santa behind the wheel. As well as our annual visit to the children’s ward at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, we also dropped in at Foster For Doncaster, Eve Merton Dreams Trust and several other worthy destinations to help spread some festive joy.

This year we are determined to make an even bigger impact and, thanks to our partners Pass Logistics, Santa will not be driving a sleigh or a bus – but an entire lorry.

Every child in Doncaster deserves a present this Christmas and, together with Club Doncaster Foundation and our 100Club partners, we are looking to make that happen.

If you can, please purchase a present for a child from newborn to age 16.

You do not need to wrap the present and you can drop it off at one of dozens of locations around the city which are listed below.

Gifts should be dropped off by Thursday, December 11 to allow us time to wrap and deliver before the big day.

But it is not just children we are seeking to help this Christmas.

We are also collecting non-perishable food items and hygiene essentials to help support local foodbanks at the time of the year when demand is at its most fierce. These too can be taken to one of our drop-off points, which are listed below.

Help us to provide some comfort in our community this Christmas, and spread a little festive joy while we are at it.

Drop-off points

Y5 Bikeability Reminder

13th July 2025Joshua Meade

Just a reminder that there are a number of Y5 children doing bikeability this week. Can the children please come in comfortable sports wear and trainers, with sun cream and potentially a rain coat. Can the children please bring their bikes and helmets if they said they was going to bring them. Thank you

Primary Engineer!

1st July 2025Mr Schofield

A few weeks ago, children in Year 5 engaged with Primary Engineer and Siemens to work on a project to build a working locomotive, using new tools and skills to develop and create a ‘train’ locomotive that progressed their knowledge of Design, Technology and Science.

The children can all be very proud to say they worked in small teams to build working locomotives that were able to travel in straight lines (as on a track) and carry a small load. Myself and the other teachers were extremely impressed with how brilliantly everyone engaged with the work and took care to ensure their products fitted the brief.

Then – today – three children were selected to attend the celebration event where they were interviewed about the development of the design, their involvement in improving the quality of the working parts, and tested its usefulness in carrying a load on a straight line – just like a real train! They were a credit to the school and presented us beautifully with their ‘Flying Scotsman’ inspired design, making links to our coal mining expedition and Doncaster.

Well done year 5!
