For many of us, Christmas is about being with people.

But for someone experiencing loneliness, Christmas Day can be one of the hardest days of the year.

Christmas Cheer brings people together through shared lunches, doorstep visits and simple moments of connection.

Whether you can give your time as a volunteer, or know someone who may benefit from the project, we’d love to hear from you.

A Christmas shared is a very different Christmas. 🎄

Last year, 393 people, including volunteers, experienced connection on Christmas Day through Christmas Cheer.

Because sometimes the thing people remember most isn’t the food or the presents.

It’s having someone there.

You can volunteer with Christmas Cheer, or refer someone who may otherwise spend Christmas Day alone.

That really is the heart of Christmas Cheer.

People showing up for people.

Sometimes, it’s just a knock at the door.

A friendly face.
A conversation.
Someone taking the time to be there.

For people who can’t attend one of our Christmas Day lunches, Christmas Cheer doorstep visits can offer an important moment of connection.

One project member told us their volunteer was the only person they saw or spoke to that Christmas.

You can volunteer, or refer someone who may benefit.
