For some extra Christmas joy, ExxonMobil donated 3,000 Cadbury selection boxes for the Waterside Christmas Fire Engine volunteers to hand out to the children in the community. Students at Noadswood School helped the Waterside Christmas Fire Engine team to attach Christmas greeting stickers from ExxonMobil on to the selection boxes.
