Christmas Day Hampers

This December, for the third year we are running a special project in partnership with St Peter’s Church and Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance to ensure families across Derby can enjoy the full Christmas Day experience.

With the support of volunteers, we’ll be preparing and delivering 300 Christmas Hampers, each packed with all the trimmings for families to cook their own festive dinner at home.

These hampers will mean that no family is left out at Christmas — even those struggling with the cost of living will still have the chance to share in the joy of preparing and enjoying a traditional Christmas meal together.

We are inviting corporate volunteer teams to join us for this two-day opportunity and help us make sure hundreds of families don’t miss out.

  • Location: St Peter’s Church, Derby
  • Dates: Friday 19th, Saturday 20th December
