🎁 Adult gifts
🛒 Dried goods for food hampers
All items should be new, in date, and unwrapped.
📅 Donation drop-offs open from 10th November
🎁 Toy appeal runs from 15th–19th December
📍 Drop-off times:
🕗 Monday: 8:30am – 1pm
🕘 Tuesday: 9am – 1pm
🕘 Friday: 9am – 1pm
Your kindness will help bring smiles and hope to families across our community this Christmas. 🌟

This week is Grief Awareness Week, and a chance to recognise how any type of loss can affect our wellbeing.

There’s no right or wrong way to feel — grief affects everyone differently.

If you're finding things difficult, there’s support that can help.
