With the many challenges brought on by Covid-19, Fresh Start’s annual Christmas Appeals are more in demand than ever this year. Whilst schools and our Community Pantry are closed for the holidays, ensuring people have access to food is a priority in the run up to Christmas. We provide all of the families we support with presents for their children as well as Festive Food Packs containing a mix of basic (pasta, rice, cereal etc.) and festive food items to keep people going.

Donations to this page will fund the purchase of  festive food items like mince pies and Christmas puddings as well as crackers for the table and wrapping paper for gifts. This reduces feelings of social isolation, removes the need for people to take on Christmas debt and ensures that everyone can focus on enjoying the day and the time with their family.  

On behalf of everyone at Fresh Start and all of those that we support, thank you for kindness and generosity. We are consistently blown away by the support we receive, especially after such a difficult year. Your donation will go a long way to relieving stress, reducing debt and spreading some cheer this year.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
