Last year we gifted or supplied Christmas dinner to an outstanding 1,348 people across Cumbria.🥳

This included Children, Vulnerable adults and Isolated pensioners.❤️

Truly think about it, that’s 1,348 people that would have gone without if it wasn’t for each and every one of YOU who support Secret Santa Cumbria!🎅🏻
1,348 people smiling on Christmas Day because of YOU! 🥹

This will be our 5th year running the appeal 😃
🎁 2022 in 6 days before Christmas we gifted well over 100 people
🎁 2023: 616 people
🎁 2024: 571 people
🎁 2025: 1,348 people

Please if you can help support our appeal it would make a huge difference to our Cumbrian community!🙏🏽

We really need YOUR help to make sure we can accommodate all appeals.. Lets spread Christmas magic for the 5th year running ✨
(Can’t quite believe where time has gone!😂)

Funds are extremely low in our Christmas budget… if you can donate even just £1 it would make a huge difference to helping someone smile this Christmas🥰

Ho Ho Ho letsssss GOOOOOOO! 🌈🎅🏻

Massive thank you to all customers and everyone who called in to donate items for SSC and The Community Pantry! ❤️

Thank you to Helen for delivering 2 sets of gifts today!

I’ve been stuck in bed all day, think I’ve trapped something in my neck.. 🫣

My amazing people have been looking after me though, really have created a family here at NRWR! 🥺

It does so much for so many people, including bringing all these fantastic people into my life.. Thank you guys ❤️

Looking at reopening household appeals once I’m better 🫡

We are desperately low on all sorts of Christmas presents now, majority of our left over stock that come in last year when we had finished appeals has practically gone… please please please donate if you can! 🙏🏽🎅🏻🌈
