Christmas is a time for giving, sharing and showing kindness. This year, Turnaround Bristol is inviting us to help bring some festive cheer to people experiencing homelessness and hardship.

The Christmas Appeal aims to collect essential items and small gifts to create festive gift packages for Turnaround Bristol’s guests. These thoughtful contributions can make a real difference, helping to bring comfort, dignity and a little happiness to those who may be facing a difficult time this Christmas.

What is needed?

The appeal is particularly looking for:

• Men’s and women’s spray deodorant
• A6 notebooks, pens and Sharpies
• Men’s and women’s socks
• Individual packs of tissues
• Gloves
• Puzzle books
• Shower gel
• Chocolate Oranges
• Cuppa soups
• Wrapping paper and Sellotape

Other useful donations are also welcome, including backpacks, £5 Greggs gift cards, Christmas crackers, serviettes and paper tablecloths, men’s trainers (sizes 8 and 9), waterproof coats (sizes M and L), reusable coffee cups and flasks.

How can you help?

Churches and individuals across the Circuit are encouraged to support this appeal by donating any of the items listed above. Every contribution, however small, can help make Christmas a little brighter for someone in our community.

Donations can be dropped off at:
