This year, let’s fight winter isolation by delivering joy and gifts to
older people right here in the Thurrock community.

Through our annual Be a Santa campaign, every donated item
helps us reach someone who might otherwise be forgotten this
festive season. Your generosity ensures that no senior in Thurrock is left feeling alone during Christmas.
