Christmas Events
Let’s put some love into Cranleigh this Christmas
We need your help this Christmas to provide essentials and a few festive extras for those local families that can’t afford a Merry Christmas.
Thanks to your generous donations, last year we provided over 250 Christmas food vouchers* to local families, at a cost of over £15,000. This year we know even more families need help.
Please donate as generously as you can – you can bring some love to another family this Christmas and help us to show them someone’s on their side this Christmas.
You can donate by:
- Cash or card to one of our collectors
- You can donate online
Or you can ‘Sponsor a Hamper’ and bring some happiness to families and individuals in need in Cranleigh this Christmas, details below
We hope you will be able to support us with our Christmas events:
- Collections outside Sainsbury’s and Co-op on Saturday 6th, 13th & 20th December from 10.30am to 2.30pm. Come and see us and buy a Christmas Heart for your tree or just make a donation
- Santa will be visiting many estates in Cranleigh, you can see the schedule below
* we used to give physical hampers that we packed ourselves, but demand has grown so much that we now give supermarket vouchers instead.
