Thank you to my incredible team of volunteers 😍

I wanted to take a moment to let you know how grateful I am for each of you. This year has been a difficult one for me, and I have been constantly aware of the commitment, care and effort you bring to everything you do.

You have given your time and energy so generously, supporting others and keeping Darwen Community Helpers moving forward, often in ways that go unseen. The compassion you show to the people we support, and to one another, truly matters.

Please know how valued and appreciated you are. What we continue to build together is something I am very proud of, and I am thankful to be working alongside such a dedicated team.

With love,
Sammy ❤️

❤️ A Thank You from Darwen Community Helpers ❤️

As the year comes to a close, we’d like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has supported Darwen Community Helpers and the wider community throughout the year. Your kindness, time, and quiet acts of care mean more than we can ever say.

We are also deeply grateful to all those who have trusted us to walk alongside them during difficult times. Your strength and openness are at the heart of everything we do.

We are now closed for the holidays, but on Tuesday we will be sharing our Christmas shoeboxes and distributing winter clothing to people experiencing homelessness, offering a little warmth and care during the colder days.

We are proud of what has been achieved together over the past year and the years before, and thankful for the compassion that continues to hold this community together.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄✨

With heartfelt thanks,
Darwen Community Helpers ❤️

Good morning to our wonderful community.

Today is our final day with the shops open as we pause for Christmas. While the doors may be closing, the work itself hasn’t stopped. Next week, we’ll be out distributing the Christmas shoeboxes and walking the streets of Blackburn to offer winter essentials and a small moment of care to those who need it most.

I want to take this moment to say thank you genuinely and from the heart. To everyone who donated to our Christmas appeal, please know that your kindness has reached further than you may ever see. You’ve helped bring warmth, comfort, and dignity at a time that can feel incredibly lonely for so many.

And to our volunteers a HUGE thank you for showing up, for giving your time, your energy, and your compassion so freely. Whether you helped pack, organise, or distribute, every act mattered. This work exists because of people like you.

I am deeply grateful to each of you for standing alongside us and helping make this Christmas a little gentler for others.

With love and gratitude,
Sammy🤍

Christmas Party Update 🎄

We just wanted to clarify a few things regarding our Christmas party, as we’ve had an increase in interest and some understandable confusion.

The event was created via Facebook’s event page system on 12th September. In the accompanying post text (rather than on the poster, due to space), we asked that anyone wishing to attend contact our page directly to book.

Unfortunately, due to a Facebook display issue, the full post text hasn’t shown on our main page feed and has only appeared under the Events tab. However, the full wording did show when the event was shared into local groups. This is something outside of our control, but we appreciate that it may have caused some confusion.

Because of venue capacity and catering requirements, the event does need to be ticketed, and tickets must be booked in advance. This allows us to keep everyone safe, ensure there’s enough food, and make the event enjoyable for all.

We have always required our events to be booked in advance, whether donation-based or not, as we need to be able to accommodate everyone.

We are very sorry for any confusion caused. We will learn from this and will use our previous booking system in future.

The event is now full, but if you have booked and can no longer attend, please let us know.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support it really does mean a lot to us. xx
