We saw a social media post from Portland Vets in East Grinstead who were in need of blankets for the animals that they care for, especially those that may end up staying overnight following surgeries. We donated an array of super cosy blankets in different sizes!

Keep your eyes pealed for donation points across your local community in supermarkets, shops and business where you can drop items directly, to then be collected by volunteers ready to be distributed.

We kicked off January 2026 with a special toy donation drop to East Surrey Hospitals children’s appeal. Having unfortunately visited the children’s A&E department with my son Reuben late in 2025, I was super grateful for how quickly the paediatric doctors and nurses acted and the care that was given during our short stint in hospital. Whilst on the ward, we noticed the small selection of toys on offer and wanted to do something to enrich the hospital toy box and bring some joy to the children who sadly have to stay in hospital a lot longer to get fully better. We donated an array of bright, fun and educational toys which were distributed by the nurses and play specialist Janine (pictured) who said, ‘this is just what we needed for the babies being treated at the moment’.

🎄This Christmas (2025), we donated boxes of biscuits and giant bags of tea bags to two wonderful charities who support individuals seeking a safe place for regular interaction and community.
🫶☕️🍪💬🪑🗣️👂🏼

First up, Renewed Hope who are based out of
Shrewsbury Chapel in Redhill, offer a warm and welcoming drop in Monday to Friday 11am-3pm to support the homeless, vulnerable and isolated to come together and chat, have a free meal and form new friendships.
•
•
Secondly, Andys Man Club Caterham is a men’s su***de prevention charity that want to end the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, offering free to attend support groups which run every Monday from 7pm. In these groups, men can simply turn up, and talk as much or as little in a judgement-free and non-clinical environment about the storms affecting their lives with no pressure.
