The children of St John’s Priory School have made special phone box Christmas decorations, which include the message ‘Don’t be alone this Christmas,’ and the telephone numbers of charities including Samaritans, Shelter and Childline for those in need of help and support over the festive season.
Tracey Wilson, headmistress of the school, said: “We know that for many people, Christmas can be a difficult time of the year. Many people face hardship and difficulty and so we wanted to give something back to the local community and bring a smile to people’s faces. We hope this will be the start of a long relationship with Banbury’s Phone Box Library.”
