This winter, thousands of people are feeling the strain of rising costs, reduced winter fuel payments, and the impossible choice between heating their homes or buying essential items. Through our Give a Gift For Good appeal, we aim to deliver 1,000 Gifts For Good and we need to raise £25,000 to do this. Thanks to the incredible support of Aviva's Community Fund all donation made until 22nd December will be doubled!

David Lloyd Clubs have kickstarted our winter response with an incredible contribution of £50,000 worth of essential clothing and toiletries. Their support means we’re better equipped to respond to those who need our support in the months ahead.

Goods For Good is delighted to announce that, for the second consecutive year, we are the recipients of support from Aviva’s Community Fund. This partnership brings an incredible opportunity to amplify the impact of our Twelve Gifts of Kindness Winter Appeal throughout the month of December.

We believe that in someone's hour of need, your support can be the most powerful force for positive change. While this Winter we continue our commitment to delivering everyday essentials such as nappies, period products, toiletries, warm coats, and clothing, our #TwelveGiftOfKindness Winter Appeal introduces the gifts that go beyond the material.  When you donate £10 you’re not just helping us deliver a 'gift for good' containing crucial items such as blankets, bedding, and essential clothing and footwear, you’re also delivering an invaluable gift for those who need it most, providing comfort, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the world witnesses the distressing events unfolding in the Middle East, Goods For Good has been collaborating with our partners to assess the immediate needs of those affected and to determine the most effective ways we can provide support during this hour of need.

The recent earthquake in Morocco has left many without shelter, and as the temperatures drop, the situation becomes increasingly dire. We are working tirelessly to provide essential relief in the form of tents to those seeking refuge in the recently set-up refugee camp.

Amidst the backdrop of financial strain, the annual ritual of purchasing school uniforms has become an added hardship for many parents in the UK. In a nation where child poverty rates are unsettlingly high, the struggle to make ends meet has intensified, leaving many parents anxious about providing their children with the essentials they need for a successful academic year.

Goods For Good staff and Board of Trustees are working in partnership with our charity partner HRIF to identify the needs of those affected by the catastrophic Türkiye-Syria earthquake. The death toll is currently reported to be 33,000 and expected to rise. Find our more about how you can support us.

In the face of adversity and geographical barriers, Goods For Good remains steadfast in our mission to reach those communities most in need, no matter how remote. In a year overshadowed by the pandemic, the importance of education and access to learning resources became even more critical.
