How you can help

Please contact us via christmasdayrichmond@gmail.com if you’d like to find out more about how you can get involved in this year’s Christmas Day Dinner project.  One of the team will come right back to you. Thanks!

You can help us in so many ways:

Could you be a host or helper for our wonderful event on 25 December? We also need helpers to set up on Christmas Eve and clear down on 27th December. Email us to register your interest and we will send you an application form – hostschristmasday@cocooncareaftercare.org.uk

Would you like to buy one of our wonderful guests a Christmas gift? You can click here to see our Amazon wishlist.

Prefer to shop local either online or in person? Click here if you would like to see our wishlist at The Hare And The Moon at 23 Church Street, Twickenham. Some of our guests now have young children of their own so Rocc gift shop next door at 23 Church Street, Twickenham have a list of their ages & genders and can guide you towards appropriate gifts. Rocc are offering 10% discount off any children’s gifts bought for us in store.

Both The Hare And The Moon and Rocc will store any items you buy our guests until we are ready to wrap them at our annual Wrapathon. Keep an eye on our social media feeds if you’d like to come along.

Perhaps you could make another sort of donation to the event or help us in some other way? If so, please get in touch by filling in the contact form below, or emailing us at christmasdayrichmond@gmail.com

How else can you help? By following us on social media and spreading the word. You’ll find the latest updates and how to help on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram

Time, gifts, resources are the lifeblood of the event.  We’re also incredibly grateful for cash donations to help pay for hidden costs such as insurance and any ‘top ups’ required to make the day a huge success.

You can donate to our Just Giving page and help us make Christmas unforgettable for our guests by clicking here.

Don’t forget to sign up to our Easy Fundraising programme to donate while doing any on-line shopping. Click here for details.

We will have at least 50 stockings to fill so that’s an awful lot of presents and we’d love it if our young people receive more than socks. We’re also an ambitious bunch so we’re aiming for a ‘star’ present for each person too.
