Gift Back with Team London Bridge

 
 
 

Every winter we invite London Bridge businesses and individuals to donate gifts that we send to small local charities, just in time for their festive gatherings.

Last year alone, we collected 3649 gifts from over 25 businesses and we hope you can help us achieve the same (or more!) this time round!

… in a nutshell:

  • 🎁 13th November to 🛷12 December collect gifts in your office and drop them off at our Santa’s grotto (or we can collect them from you). We will match them to the wish lists and send them to charities on cargo bikes.

  • 💝Volunteer to help make the gifts look the part! We will need some help with sorting the gifts for each charity wish list, and maybe some wrapping. Some charities will need help with their festive gatherings. Or organise your own wrapping afternoon, so plenty of options.

Who are the gifts for?

  • Charities taking part: Time & Talents, Bede House, Stones End Day Centre, The Manna Society, South London Cares, One Southwark, Southwark Care Leavers, and more

  • All these charities work with people of all ages, who live locally (babies, children, teenagers, young adults, elderly). All donated items must be new and non-perishable.
