Winter Community Impact: Food, Hoodies, and Hampers

107 Winter Hampers

We assembled and distributed 107 hampers filled with essentials for those in need. Thanks to the generosity of Thinking Works, who donated 100 hoodies, we were able to add cozy warmth to every hamper. A special shout-out to Staywell, who helped us deliver 30 hampers to older residents in Kingston, spreading joy and comfort during the season.

1 TON of Rescued Food

Over Christmas week, we rescued an incredible 1 TON of food to stock our community fridge, ensuring no one went without. The fridge stayed open throughout the holidays including the 27th December. Our amazing volunteers worked tirelessly—even on bank holidays—to collect and distribute food to those in need.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported us this winter. Your contributions have made a real difference in the lives of so many, and we’re looking forward to continuing this vital work in the year ahead.

Smiles made

Lastly, we’d like to share that The Santa’s grotto and winter fair event on the 21st December went amazingly and hope all those who attended had a fantastic time a visiting Santa and finding out more about local groups.
