Spread Cheer Through Bassetlaw launches at Worksop College Christmas Market as part of the Pass the Parcel Campaign
The Spread Cheer Through Bassetlaw initiative part of the Pass the Parcel campaign has officially launched at the Worksop College Christmas Market. The launch event featured special guests from the Doncaster Belles, who joined students, staff, and local partners to kickstart this year’s festive giving effort.
The Pass the Parcel campaign brings together schools, businesses, community groups, and local partners to support vulnerable residents across Bassetlaw during the winter period. This year’s Spread Cheer Through Bassetlaw activity focuses on collecting donations for Bassetlaw Food Bank and Bassetlaw Hospital, helping ensure families and patients receive additional support throughout the festive season.
Visitors to the market were invited to collect a donation tag, purchase the suggested item, and return both the tag and donation to Worksop College by 12th December.
Every returned tag counts as one entry into the campaign’s Festive Raffle, featuring prizes generously donated by The Crown Bawtry Collection, including:
- Afternoon Tea with Prosecco at Rossington Hall
- A Family BBQ Experience at Bawtry Hall (for up to 20 guests)
- Dinner, Bed & Breakfast stay at The Crown Hotel, Bawtry
- Tickets to 2025/26 home league fixtures with Doncaster Rovers Football Club
- Tickets to 2025/26 fixtures with Doncaster Belles Ladies Football Club
- Tickets to 2026 fixtures with Doncaster Rugby League Club
Charlotte Lister, CSR & Partnerships Manager at The Crown Bawtry Collection, said:“Launching Spread Cheer Through Bassetlaw at the Worksop College Christmas Market was a brilliant way to extend this year’s Pass the Parcel campaign into Bassetlaw. The support from students, families, and the Doncaster Belles has been fantastic. Every single donation helps us share a little kindness across the community.”
Worksop College will continue collecting donations throughout the festive season, encouraging as many people as possible to get involved and help make a difference.
