Our hamper appeal is more important than its ever been
Can you help make this festive season special?
Wednesday, 23rd November 2022

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.
