Together, We Can Make Christmas Brighter: Join the Colburn Hub 2024 Toy & Hamper Appeal

As The festive season approaches, we’re reminded of the magic that Christmas brings to people young and old. But for many in our community, the festive spirit feels just out of reach. With funding to Colburn Hub drastically cut and the increased cost of living weighing heavily on families, the need for compassion and support has never been greater


This is where you come in...


The Colburn Hub 2024 Toy & Hamper Appeal has officially launched,


and we’re counting on our incredible community to step forward once again, as you always have,

to help those who need it most.




Why Your Support Matters
We know that this season is challenging for everyone, but imagine a child waking up on Christmas morning to an empty tree or a family sitting down to a table with little to share. That’s the reality for so many in our community right now—but it doesn’t have to be.

Your donation, no matter how big or small, will ensure that every family has food on their table and every child experiences the joy of opening a gift this Christmas. Together, we can create moments that matter.

How You Can Help
Imagine for a moment that you’re holding the power to make someone’s Christmas magical. Because you are. Here’s how you can be part of this life-changing effort:

Donate Hamper Supplies: Tinned goods, non-perishables, treats, or Christmas essentials are always welcome.
Donate Money: In cash at our office or via bank transfer, details at the bottom of the page
Give New or Nearly New Toys: That toy sitting unused could bring joy to a child in need or Amazon wish list we can send you a link to
Spread the Word: Share our appeal with friends, family, and colleagues.

Drop-offs can be made right here at our office (Opposite Tesco and you can park outside) —we love being a community hub where hope and generosity meet.

Your Kindness Transforms Lives

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s work together to ensure no one in Colburn goes without a warm meal, a thoughtful gift, or the feeling of being cared for this holiday season.
