Love Christmas in the press
St. Nicholas, Bristol
This Christmas, St. Nicholas have prepared close to 700 Christmas parcels including Love Christmas boxes for families and individuals, and Christmas bags for local schools. The Love Your Neighbour campaign has enabled them to build partnerships and relationships in the city helping them to reach wide by serving, upskilling and championing those most in need during this season.
Emmaus Rd Church, Woking
The Lighthouse is the community outreach project run by Emmaus Rd Church. The Lighthouse has been receiving referrals from the local community, helping ensure that those who need support this Christmas receive it. They’ve now received over 1000 referrals and are delivering bundles of comfort and cheer to those in need. For an extra dose of magic, they’ve created a Winter Wonderland experience for those coming in to collect their parcels.
Salvation Army, Nationwide
We’ve partnered with The Salvation Army in Gainsborough, London, Harrow, Swindon and other locations. This Christmas, Salvation Army Leicester will be partnering with Leicester City football club and helping deliver hampers to 300 families & Christmas meals; while The Salvation Army Watford, who work closely with local schools, are delivering 1000s present to vulnerable children and Christmas recipe food bags to their families.
Amazing Grace Chapel, Hull
Love Christmas is enabling us to continually reach out to our community. This Christmas, we have donated 100 Christmas boxes tagged "Christmas Lunch on Jesus" to less privileged families locally via students attending local primary schools.
Ascension, Balham
Not all Love Christmas gifts come in boxes! This year, Ascension Balham have collected and delivered over 500 coats to those who need them most this winter.
St. Francis Church, London
You’ll find St. Francis church – tall and pink – nested within the walls of Dalgarno Estate. Dalgarno is home to over 6,903 individuals – a community of vulnerable families, isolated elderly and those living alone. This Christmas, Joe and Sarah O’Sullivan who help lead St. Francis church, joined Love Christmas and committed to deliver 1,500 boxes to every single household.
