Christmas hamper nominations! 💛

🎄🎁 We're pleased to announce that for a fifth year running, we will be putting together Christmas hampers and delivering to people across South Cambridgeshire.

✨ Last year, we delivered over 150 Christmas hampers to individuals and families that were nominated. This includes users of our services, people highlighted by local government and NHS organisations, as well as the general public who put forward someone they know that would benefit from a hamper. The Christmas hampers are delivered in December as a surprise
to recipients, and is our way of spreading some festive cheer, particularly those that may be feeling the pressure of the cost of living crisis, social isolation, or been struggling with illness.

🙏 Any local businesses that want to sponsor this campaign or create your own hampers for us to deliver, please email [email protected]

🎉 Want to help pack hampers? We'll be packing in Cambourne week commencing 8 December. Fill in the volunteer form linked below.

Nomination form is linked in the comments below and will close on Sunday 30 November, or when we have reached our maximum capacity. 👇
