Five races. 250 miles. One incredible reason to keep going. 🏃‍♀️

Jules has taken on FIVE 50-mile races in 2026 to raise money for Gingerbread Family Support. That’s 250 miles of determination, grit and going the extra mile for local families who need us.

Jules, thank you for putting your miles behind our mission. We’re so grateful you chose us. 🧡

It's the International Day for the Education of Poverty, and we've been thinking about the barriers that prevent families from achieving a stable future.

Poverty can affect every part of family life, from having a safe place to call home to the opportunities children have growing up. 🧡

So, why does tackling homelessness matter in the fight to end poverty? 👇

Explore the link between poverty and homelessness, the impact of hidden homelessness, and how Gingerbread helps families build a safer, more stable future.

Biscuit eating biscuits? Surely not! 🍪

It's and our very own Biscuit has found himself in his natural habitat...surrounded by plates of biscuits! We’re not sure if this counts as work or simply a very sweet perk of the job.

But we need your help settling a debate that could divide biscuit tins across the nation...

Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit? 👀

A little Biscuit-shaped happiness at Tesco!

Our favourite gingerbread man has been out and about! This time, Biscuit popped into Tesco Trent Vale in Stoke-on-Trent, bringing smiles, laughter and a little bit of Gingerbread magic to shoppers and staff alike.

We think he might have been the sweetest thing on the shelves! 🍪

A big thank you to everyone who stopped to say hello and made him feel so welcome!

Where will Biscuit pop up next? Keep your eyes peeled…👀

It's once again, and what a week it's been at Gingerbread Family Support!

We've had everything from food donations and fundraising events to school visits and Christmas planning. 🎄

A special thank you to the lovely pupils from St Margaret Ward Catholic Academy for visiting us, and for gifting us with lots of beautiful artwork to brighten up the walls at Gingerbread.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of the local community, we're heading into the weekend with fully stocked shelves and big smiles! 🧡

Putt-ing families first ⛳

Our first ever Gingerbread Golf Day was one to remember! A brilliant day packed with big swings, friendly competition, questionable golf, plenty of laughs and most importantly, a fantastic amount of money raised for local families.

A huge thank you to R&H Insulations, our wonderful sponsors, for helping us make the day happen.

And to everyone who played, sponsored a hole, entered the raffle, bid on auction prizes, donated prizes or cheered from the sidelines, thank you! Every single contribution helped make the day such a success.

We think our first golf day set the bar pretty high…and we're already looking forward to the next one! 🧡

Our Activity Club is about so much more than fun and games. It's a chance for the children at our centres to have fun, learn, make friends, get creative and play freely in a safe and supportive space.

But did you know that our Activity Club relies on donations to keep going?

Every donation, big or small, helps piece together something wonderful. 🧩🧡
