Christmas sack Appeal
This year, give a gift to help a family celebrate Christmas in the best way possible. You can give a present, or donate to help buy a gift as well as a food hamper.
Enabling Lincoln residents to support local people in need.
how it works
Referrals
We receive referrals from social workers, family support workers, churches, professionals who work with people who will be struggling financially to provide for themselves and/or their families this Christmas.
Receiving Gifts
During December, we arrange for key workers or families to come and choose some items for themselves and their children. All items have been donated from all over the City. We are continually amazed at how generous people are.
Donating/Giving
Give Financially
You can pay forward a Christmas present or food hamper. Consider giving £10, £20, £30 or more to cover the price of items for a family.
Giving Tree
Businesses, organisations, schools and churches put up Christmas trees, and we provide the tags (image above- postcard size). These will need to be strung by yourselves and have ‘Boy aged 3’, ‘Girl aged 14’ so that people can choose who they would like to buy a gift for.
Giving Tree Tags
We will arrange to drop off/post the tags and confirm a date for donations to be delivered to our centres. All you will need to do is tie them to the tree.
Giving With Quality
We ask that the gifts are not wrapped as the families and key workers select the gifts that will be appropriate. We request that gifts are brand new or good quality second-hand.
Receiving Gifts
If you work with families or people who you know could benefit from this project, please get in touch and we will add your organisation to our list of referrers.
Once we have received your referral, we will then be in contact to arrange collection. All referrals must be from Lincoln (and surrounding villages) and received by Tuesday 3rd December 2024.
