Vale school Christmas competition

FRIENDS of Vale School have been busy fundraising to re-nature an area of the school grounds. 

The charity has a number of events planned throughout the school year, particularly over the festive period, with Jacobs Steel as the official sponsor.

We have recently challenged pupils to decorate Christmas tree ornaments - children were given two weeks to decorate the ornaments, before Friends of Vale School presented over 100 entries to staff from Jacobs Steel for judging.

Our director, Matt Jacobs, said:

"We were so impressed with the Christmas decorations - there was so much attention to detail, and some fantastic original designs."

He continues...

"We are so happy to support the fantastic work the school is doing to enhance the environment"

A winning tree ornament was selected from each year group, plus two highly recommended decorations. All the winners recieved a chocolate selection box.

All the winning decorations, plus every competition entry will be displayed on the Jacobs Steel community Christmas tree, outside the Jacobs Steel office in Findon in December.

Jacqui Jenkins, the chairperson of Friends of Vale School, said: 

"The support of Jacobs Steel as the official sponsor of our community based Christmas events in invaluable. Their generosity will enable us to operate our popular festive trailer on Monday 6 December and on Thursday 16th Decemeber we are holding a Carols by Torchlight event in the grounds of Vale school."

Findon Christmas Tree

Our Findon office has gone all festive with the arrival of the Jacobs Steel community Christmas tree! 🎄

We supplied the 16ft tree for all the Findon Valley community to enjoy this Christmas.

It is decorated with beautiful handmade ornaments that pupils from Vale school created.

It was so nice to see pupils visit the tree after school to see if they could spot their ornament!

Thanks to our fantastic Findon staff for getting the tree decorated today and to TipTop fencing and garden services for supplying the fence - find them here.

This Worthing Herald article sheds light on the event.

- Merry Christmas!

Guild Care

Jacobs Steel has a proud and long-standing relationship with Guild Care. We have been involved in many different events and activities over the years.

This year, we are supporting the charity by sending a team of staff to volunteer at the charity's care homes. 

We have also had a good clear out and donated over one hundred items, which Guild Care will sell in it's fantastic charity shops to raise funds.

And, we are sponsoring some notelets which have been designed by talented artists at Guild Care's Birkdale and Fitzalan centres.

Matt Jacobs, Managing Director, said: “We are proud of our long-standing relationship with Guild Care – a charity which does so much for our local community."
