For many people Christmas is a wonderful time, but for others it can be a difficult period, especially for people who are feeling lonely or isolated. Every Christmas some of our local branches team up with Age Cymru and Care & Repair Cymru to urge the Welsh public to help us make a difference.
We ask the public to fill a wrapped shoe box with simple gifts such as gloves, hats, scarves, and books alongside traditional festive treats such as shop-bought chocolates, mince pies, and cakes. A Christmas card with a warm message would also be appreciated. The gifts don’t have to be expensive to make a huge difference this Christmas.
Once you’ve filled your shoe box, wrap it in festive paper and add a label indicating whether it is suitable for a female, male, or generic. Please don’t include personal information about yourself and don’t seal your gift box but secure it with a rubber band around the closed box. Then drop your gift box to our Widdershins Centre by Friday 6th December.
All the donated gift boxes will go to older people in Wales who may not receive any gifts this Christmas.
