The details currently shown on this page were for our 2023 project.  We will be updating the text as our 2024 project is finalised.

​

As a small charity, we have always been immensely grateful for the generous donations from both individuals and local businesses.  

 

• We can only accept donations in kind during the run up to the Christmas period.  

• However we also are very grateful for donations of money to meet our various expenses.  

 

DONATIONS IN KIND

​

When can you donate?

In 2023, we are planning to have two donation days:

• Saturday 16th December 10am-2pm (for frozen and long shelf-life food); and 

• Saturday 23rd December 10am-2pm (for short shelf-life food).

Both days will be at The Haven, Queen's Drive, Swindon (next to the ambulance station).
