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 200 Christmas food vouchers to local families, almost double on the year before. 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.

You can donate by:
