Every year the foodbank gives Christmas hampers to families and individuals who are struggling. These hampers make an enormous difference to the festive season, helping alleviate the many financial pressures and allowing people to celebrate the season rather than exist through it. Last year many of you helped by donating items for a hamper through our 12 days to Christmas scheme. We’ve had lots of requests to run it again this year, so here are the 12 dates with 12 items. The first day is 8 November 2020 when you start with a ‘bag for life’ on #StartupSunday. You can follow on Twitter or Facebook adding items on specific days at or do your shopping in one go but please deliver to foodbank during our opening hours (Monday to Friday 9:30 to 12:30 and Saturday 9:30-12:00 midday) by Saturday 28 November. 12 days of Christmas has more information and the list of items and days
