18/12/2025

We're just collating helpers for Monday & Tuesday, we know some have messaged us on facebook and others used the email form and will respond and invite you to a whats app group so we can communicate easily

But really could do with a few more helpers, so if you can get involved drop us a message via

Twelve years ago, this started as a simple idea: to make sure one struggling family could enjoy a proper Christmas dinner.

Twelve years ago, this started as a simple idea: to make sure one struggling family could enjoy a proper Christmas dinner.

Since then, thanks to the kindness of our community, we’ve been able to support over 1,100 families — some more than once — when they needed it most.

As we look ahead to 2026, the reality is tough. Rising food prices, soaring energy bills, and the ongoing cost-of-living pressures mean even more people will be facing a difficult Christmas.

But together, we can make a real difference.

This year, our goal is to help more families than ever before — and we need your support to do it.

How you can get involved:
✨ Volunteer or lend a hand in any way you can
🎁 Nominate a family or individual who would benefit from support this Christmas
🍽️ Make a donation to help us provide even more food hampers than last year

If you’re able to help, please complete the form below. Every contribution — big or small — creates a moment of relief, hope, and joy for someone who truly needs it.

Thank you for being part of something that changes Christmas for so many. Together, we can put a smile on more faces than ever before.

Thank you

Paul & Steve
