Once again our colleagues, tenants and partners have shown their amazing generosity to support those less fortunate this Christmas.
As part of our annual Christmas Giving Appeal, we supported CCP's Hamper Scamper and our Help2 scheme which provides support to tenants who find themselves in unexpected financial hardship.
This year our aim was to bring in as many donations as possible to either/both appeals and we were so overwhelmed from the generosity of people.
We set up an online donation form, where people could pledge to donate gifts to children and young people in Cheltenham as part of the Hamper Scamper. Thanks to the donations from our wonderful colleagues and members of the public, we covered 98 per cent of the gifts needed for both appeals!
We also received food donations from our partners at P3, The Freedom Church, Christchurch and St Paul's Church, as well as collecting food and gifts from John Lewis staff and customers.
Your generosity never ceases to amaze us, and we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to helping make people's Christmas!
