CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL

THE big festive countdown has begun with just 26 sleeps now until Christmas Day.

Little children will be merrily playing with their presents, parents snoring on the couch after a big meal and Hollywood blockbuster.

And yet this year it feels as if fewer and fewer families will be really able to enjoy the festive season.

There doesn’t seem to be much to be cheerful about – with the energy bills going up so fast along with the cost of food in the supermarkets. Gas and electricity are such a commodity now that parents will be wincing at the thought of roasting a turkey for four hours.

How many of us will be having the heating on full blast all day?

What it all means is that this is a year when the Camden New Journal Christmas Hamper Appeal is going to be more important than ever.

Every year we deliver hundreds of hampers chock-full of treats to Camden people struggling during the festive season. With the cost of surviving crisis under way we know that we need to reach more families than ever before.

Many will be people who have not yet accepted they are in need of some help and have never before experienced living in poverty. Our aim has always been to help the lonely, the recently bereaved, those who cannot make ends meet or are simply down on their luck.

At Christmas time, these pressures can become more acute and the microscope can point inwards. It can be a particularly painful for those who have recently lost loved ones.

So come on, get into the spirit of helping your neighbours this Christmas. If you know someone who might want a hamper hand delivered to them before the big day, just let us know. And you can help out by raising funds for our appeal. Donations can be made by clicking on the button below.
