Sponsorship
There are so many fun things that we have at the Christmas Market, that we simply could not have if they weren’t sponsored including the mobile farm, some of the games and the Petting Zoo. If you or your business would be happy to sponsor an activity or entertainment, please contact Ellie: e.mello@stjamesschools.co.uk.
Match Funding
Have you thought about inquiring with your company about match funding? Many employers offer matching donations for employees who volunteer with charitable causes. It’s a fantastic way to amplify the funds raised from your section of the Market and make an even greater impact.

At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period of 5-10 minutes at the beginning and middle of every day is allocated to quietude in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
