This winter, our Give a Gift for Good appeal has an ambitious goal: to deliver 1,000 gifts to vulnerable individuals and families in our community. To make this possible, we need to raise £25,000. Each donation brings us closer to providing essential support to those facing the most difficult challenges this season.
We are thrilled to announce that, for the third consecutive year, Aviva is supporting our appeal through their Community Fund. This means that every donation up to £250 will be matched pound-for-pound, effectively doubling the impact of your generosity. However, to benefit from this match funding, we must reach our £25,000 target by 22nd December.
Our Give a Gift for Good appeal is focused on supporting elderly individuals and families with children who, due to a range of circumstances, find themselves facing incredibly tough choices. The rising costs of fuel, food, and other basic needs mean that for many, this winter could be even more challenging than the last. The recent reduction in the Winter Fuel Allowance has hit pensioners particularly hard, leaving them to wonder whether they can afford to keep the heating on or if they should skip a meal to save money.
Families, too, are under enormous pressure. The financial and emotional strain of providing stability for children while managing the demands of the season can be overwhelming. Some parents find themselves choosing between heating their homes and feeding their families, with little room for extras like winter clothing or holiday gifts. For children in these situations, the holiday season may feel very different from what they see around them.
By contributing to Give a Gift for Good, you’re helping us to deliver warm clothing, blankets, toys for children, and essential supplies that can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Each gift brings a moment of relief, joy, and a reminder to these individuals and families that they are not alone.
This winter, we’re asking for your support to make this happen. With £25,000, we can bring warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging to those who need it most. Every gift, every donation, helps us reach our goal of delivering 1,000 gifts to vulnerable people across our community.
A £20 donation means we can deliver comfort and some joy to three children - for most this will be the only gift they receive this Christmas. With Aviva's match funding, your £20 becomes £40, doubling the impact and helping us reach even more children in need.
