Help us raise £16,000 for Christmas

Last December, GL11 Community Hub served up 268 Christmas meals, and delivered 189 Food Bank Christmas Hampers to some of those most in need in our community. This included a children's toy for those who might not otherwise receive a gift at Christmas. A 30% increase on the year before as the cost of living hits home in some households.

None of this Christmas help is possible without volunteers donating their time, and people and local businesses gifting toys, food and of course giving money.

We estimate we need to reach at least £16,000 by Christmas, to help properly fund this year's Food Bank Christmas Hampers, and ensure that some of those most in need in our local community can truly enjoy the festive season.

Thank you for your help. Every £1 makes a real difference.
