'Make Someone Happy' Christmas giving campaign

The Christmas season is officially here with sparkly lights, warm gatherings, and the joy of giving. But for many in our community, this time of year can be tough. That’s why Age UK Wandsworth is excited about our Christmas giving campaign, and inviting you to ‘Make Someone Happy’ by writing a Christmas card or donating non-perishable food items and treats that older people may not be able to buy themselves this Winter.  

If you would like to write a Christmas card and bring joy to an older person who is isolated, please write your card with Christmassy message leaving space for us to add a name.  

You may prefer to donate non-perishable food stuffs such as tins of soup or fruit, tea bags, pasta, rice, cereals, and long-life milk – all these items are incredibly helpful. Essentials like these can help ensure that older people have enough food for the Christmas period and don’t go without.

Christmas is also about treats that make the season magical, and we’re also asking for donations of socks, chocolate, soap, and other small gifts that can brighten someone’s day. Your generosity will genuinely make a difference to older people in Wandsworth.

Donations can be dropped off between 10am-3pm Monday to Thursday at our Information and Advice Centre, 549 Old York Road, SW18 1TQ or at our Gwynneth Morgan Day Centre, 52 East Hill, SW18 2HJ.

We are here to accept donations right up to and including Christmas Eve, Wednesday 24^th December.

Thank you
