Christmas 2025: “Do you see what I see?”

What are you looking forward to this Christmastime?

We believe Christmas should be a time of joy, warmth and celebration for everyone, not just those who can afford it.

Across Lambeth & Croydon, we know that thousands of families and individuals are facing a difficult festive season. We see them. Every day our team of staff and volunteers meet with people and hear first-hand the difficulties they face in ensuring there’s food on the table, that bills are paid and that presents can be purchased for their children. The cost-of-living crisis doesn’t pause for Christmas.

This Christmas, we know we can make a difference – but only with your help.

Throughout December, our team will be working tirelessly to deliver our special Christmas parcels to those who need them. These parcels are filled to the brim with the usual food for 3+ days, plus festive treats to bring a little magic to the season. Our hubs will be hosting Christmas parties to combat isolation and spread festive cheer, while our advice and signposting services will continue to offer vital support to help tackle the root causes of food poverty.

Will you help us make Christmas a time of joy, warmth, and celebration for everyone?
