Christmas 2024

We are so grateful to everyone who is looking to partner with us to support local people in crisis!  We have had an amazing response from local schools, businesses and organisations over Harvest Festival, which makes a huge difference to the work we’re able to do!

Now it’s time to talk about Christmas! There are a number of ways you can support us over the Christmas period:

1. Donate Food

If you are interested in doing a collection this Christmas, you can do so either using our Christmas Shopping List or Reverse Advent Calendar which runs throughout November. Our deadline for donations is Friday 2nd December so that we can start processing it to give it all out in time for Christmas.

If you are a group/ organisation intending to do a collection, please could you fill out this short form in order to help us prepare for bigger donations coming in?

2. Volunteer

In the run-up to Christmas, we have lots of different options for volunteering! Below are some of the roles and events that we have running in the run-up to the Christmas Period. Please follow the links to the signup pages for these events for more information and where individuals can sign up. We’d love to have you!
