Volunteering not only helps others but can boost our own wellbeing? It can help us connect with our local community and grow self confidence!
Christmas giving
If you’re looking for ways to give back this Christmas we’ve put some ideas together; from volunteering to giving well-loved items a new home.
Give the gift of time!

Support a Community Meal
A number of local organisations are hosting Christmas lunches. Some may be looking for donations or volunteers to help on the day. Visit the Christmas meals page to find out more!
Donate to your local food bank
Support your local food bank this Christmas! You can find your local food bank, by heading over to the food bank page. Some of the food banks may be running their own Christmas campaigns, you could check with them independently. Alternatively you could use the BanktheFood app to connect with your local food bank, and see what they are most in need of.
Give a pre-loved item a new home this Christmas
Do something green this Christmas and why not give something that's in good condition that you no longer use, to a local charity shop?! A pre-Christmas declutter is a great way of making a charity donation with the added bonus of recycling!
