Each shoebox was carefully packed with items that will bring comfort and joy to recipients - from toiletries and warm clothing to small treats and festive surprises. The effort and care that went into every box reflect the values we hold dear at St Michael’s: compassion, empathy, and service to others. ![St Michael’s Catholic Academy](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Michael’s Catholic Academy Beamish Road Billingham Stockton-On-Tees TS23 3DX (01642) 870003 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/bhcet.org.uk) - [BHCET Trust Website](https://bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stmichaelscatholicacademybillingham/) - [X](https://twitter.com/StMBillingham) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stmichaelscatholicacademy/) ### Translation © Copyright 2025–2026 St Michael’s Catholic Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stmichaels.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
