It's that time of year again for our annual reminder!

✅ Advent calendars needed by Nov 16th
✅ Christmassy donations needed by 1st December

Please please please ensure all advent calendars are donated by 16th November. This is so we have 2 weeks to give them out in the run up the start of advent. Thank you. 😁

Christmas items such as xmas puddings and treats please try to get them to us before or around 1st December so we have time to give them out to people before Christmas itself rather than in January!! 🙃

Thank you.

Harvest is here...so we have an idea, why not to give something DIFFERENT!

We are so incredibly blessed to be part of an amazing generous community but sometimes that generosity means we end up with mountains of some food items and very little of others so we have to go and buy in what we do need.

This can we ask you to consider giving less...

❎ Cereals
❎ Pasta
❎ Soup
❎ Fish

and instead giving more...

✅ Tinned Meat Meals
✅ Tinned Spam/ Corn Beef
✅ UHT Milk
✅ Toiletries (deodarent/soap)
✅ Tinned Potatoes
✅ Tinned Vegetables
✅ Tinned Fruit
✅ Rice
✅ Cooking Sauces
✅ Rice pudding/Custard
✅ Sugar (500g)

Thank you so much for your amazing .
