Christmas can be a very joyous time of year, but it can be very lonely as well. We work closely with our charities and service providers to provide a bit of Christmas cheer for the homeless, people in hostels, temporary accommodation and safe refuges, and the socially isolated elderly. Most of them have access to basic items like toothbrushes/paste, toiletries and food, but don't have those little luxuries we all appreciate.For many of them this will be the only Christmas present they get, so we want to make sure our boxes are full of treats and luxury items.
We need your help with made up shoeboxes for our different categories and loose items to help us enrich boxes where needed, and also to make up any we are short of.
We are not associated with any charities collecting boxes for children, and only collect boxes for adults.
The list of charities we supported in 2023 is here.
We have an Amazon wishlist for those who would rather send us items directly, and drop off points where you can take boxes and loose items to.
