A little snippet of the report is attached with one family’s words, shared exactly as they wrote them in response to the question:
“If you would like to, please tell us what this support meant for your child or family this Christmas.”

Every year, The Cowshed helps thousands of families in our area experiencing hardship, providing gifts for children who would not otherwise receive presents at Christmas. For the last few years, Saltshaker has provided The Cowshed with gift food hampers to share with these families alongside those presents.

Last year, we provided 1,500 hampers - enough to ensure that every family that The Cowshed supported at Christmas was able to receive this gift - and we hope to match that figure this year. The hampers will be delivered to families by The Cowshed alongside their Christmas Present appeal which in 2025 supported more than 3,000 children. But to achieve this dream, we need your support:

Please give a little love to a local family this Christmas by sponsoring a hamper (or four!) - each hamper costs more than £10 to provide and you can donate on our JustGiving page.

Grab a ticket for a hamper packing session... Many hands make light work! We have a number of sessions for packing the hampers, across Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd November - mark your diary and join us at one of them. Friends, partners, families and children are all welcome. We'll turn on some festive tunes and share a mince pie and a hot drink while we work!

Thank you for helping us to make Christmas a little brighter!
