Story
family with renfamily with renfamily with renfamily with renChristmas 2023 is predicted to be our busiest yet. This year there are even more children living in hardship due to the cost of living crisis. Children from one and two parent families. Children whose parents work and those whose parents don’t. Children whose lives are affected by loved ones having disabilities; substance difficulties; mental health challenges; living with domestic violence; homelessness and countless other factors.
At Community Kindness - Thanet we do not judge but we do offer support to families needing a helping hand. In conjunction with local professional organisations and schools, we strive to keep childhood traditions filled with happy memories.
This is the largest fundraiser we have ever launched and, in a time of increasing costs and overheads, we recognise just how big this ask is. £2,500 is a huge amount of money and will be used to purchase 300 tubs of chocolates and 750 chocolate selection packs - a tub for each family with children and a selection pack for each child.
Every donation makes a huge difference for us, something which truly cannot be underestimated. Please do support if you are able.

1 year agoThank you so very much to each and every one of you for helping us to smash our target this year. Referrals to us have been insane but none of what we do would be possible without the phenomenal support we receive. These donations will be used solely to support those who need it the most. Once we have enough chocolate to meet this year’s referrals, all additional money raised will be used to take full advantage of the sales next year and support even more vulnerable children and adults. From the bottom of my heart I thank you all xxx

1 year agoIt’s hard to put into words just how much of a difference you have all made. They say that kindness is contagious and this appeal is certainly proving that point. The kindness of each one of you will change someone’s Christmas for the better. The impact of that cannot be underestimated.
