🎄 WE’RE LAUNCHING OUR 15TH CHRISTMAS APPEAL! ❤️

It’s quite hard to believe that this will be our 15th Christmas running the Secret Santa 365 appeal.

Over the last 15 Christmases, the kindness and generosity of our community has helped us support thousands of families across South Oxfordshire. From Christmas presents and hampers to food and everyday essentials, people have stepped up year after year to make Christmas a little easier for someone else.

This year, we’re focusing again on something really important — the everyday essentials that are becoming unaffordable for so many families.

We’ll be collecting non-perishable food and toiletries for Didcot Foodbank

Things like tinned food, pasta, rice, cereals, long-life milk, tea and coffee, alongside shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, deodorant, sanitary products, toilet roll, baby wipes and nappies.

Our collection box will be at Cornerstone Arts Centre, Didcot from next week, and you’ll be able to donate right up until 20th December.

You don’t need to spend lots. One tin. One packet of pasta. One bottle of shampoo. It might feel like a small donation, but when a whole community gets behind it, those small donations become something pretty incredible.

15 Christmases. Thousands of families supported. And we’re still here, doing what Secret Santa 365 was created to do — giving where we can and helping our community look after one another. ❤️

Please share and help us make our 15th appeal one to remember. 🎄
