The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileChristmas can be an incredibly challenging time for many families, especially for those struggling financially or living in complicated circumstances. Our hampers aren't just about giving gifts; they are about pulling together as a community to help the families we support by reducing the stigma of poverty and relieving the stress and anxiety that Christmas can often bring. They not only provide joy through physical gifts and treats, but these hampers also have a positive impact on the mental health of both the children and their parents/carers.
The families we work with simply don't have the luxury of enjoying Christmas. Instead, they worry about the lack of gift for a child that still believes in Father Christmas or they stress about the fact that during the school holidays there will be no free school meals." - Nancy Lengthorn, Christmas Hamper Coordinator and Trustee
Our hampers are packed full of supermarket vouchers to buy food, toys and books for the children, cosy pyjamas and Christmas jumpers, and toiletries, books, toys, gifts and Christmas treats.
"I've just given a hamper to a single mum of 3 children and she is over the moon. I can't tell you how much this hamper was needed. I can't believe the quality of the toys and books in there, it's just wonderful, thank you - Health visitor - Penge
Over the last few months, we have seen a significant rise in the number of local families requesting our help. Many have been pushed below the poverty line due to the COVID-19 crisis. With this increase, we anticipate this year's Christmas Hamper campaign to be larger than ever. We aim to help a record 160+ families, providing a merrier Christmas for 300-400 local children. To do this, we need you, our supporters, as well as local businesses and schools, to get involved.
