Giving at Christmas
WHAT WE DO
We will host Christmas-themed parties at local children's care homes, with the aim of improving the festive experience for "looked after" children. Donations will enable us to provide food, drinks, and entertainment at our parties and enhance the Christmas experience. We are currently looking for a local children's care home to work with. More details coming soon.
We will also look to provide local food banks with Christmas-themed hampers. These hampers will include items such as Christmas pudding, hot chocolate, fruit and vegetables, condiments, confectionery and toys for children, plus much more. We will be delivering these hampers on the 23rd and 24th of December and any non-perishable food items would be greatly appreciated. More details coming soon.

Hi, I'm Ben. Being a part of this charity means I can help those in the local community that need it. Whilst the majority of us are enjoying the festivities, there are some that don't get a Christmas at all. We seek to change that.

Hi, I'm Ryan. Christmas is my favourite time of the year but unfortunately, not everyone has the same experience as I do. My academic background specializes in community engagement and corporate sustainability and I will look to implement this to benefit my local community!
