St Mary's students and staff donated thirty-five shoeboxes to the Road of Hope Shoebox Appeal for Christmas 2015. 
 
The appeal, which has been supported by St Mary’s for a number of years, is coordinated by Road of Hope, an organisation which endeavours to bring help, healing and wholeness back to individuals, families and communities. The charity operates on a purely voluntary basis, and all the donations, gifts and collections are used for the benefit of those in need in deprived areas of Eastern Europe.
