Christmas Appeal 2019
The 12 Tins Of Christmas!

Christmas can be an expensive time for everybody, but for those already on a tight budget, the added expenses of increased winter fuel bills and the need for Christmas presents can plunge many people into crisis, leading them to make difficult choices.
This year we are launching The 12 Tins of Christmas - From the 4th November until 20th December 2019. These 12 Tins are very important to us, as they are often the least donated products, but are really important to us when making up our food boxes to make them as nutritious and filling as possible.
This year please take the decision to donate and together we can make this Christmas a time to remember for all the right reasons!
