Since 2020 we have provided 321 Christmas e-hampers, helping over 1200 individuals. We provided gifts to more than 500 children, delivered by volunteers with gift wrap for parents/carers to give to their children. Since March 2020 we have provided £118k helping families in our area.
Before the days of e-vouchers we collected donated food from schools and businesses to provide families with store cupboard items for the Christmas holidays. We purchased food for a Christmas Day meal.
Over the last couple of years we have tried to provide some toiletries for households.
Pre-Covid times are fundraising and awareness raising was very different.
