Spreading Festive Cheer: Christmas at Northfield Community Partnership! 🎄🎅🏻

Staff have been getting into the Christmas spirit here at NCP! 🎄

In December, volunteers from MITIE and West Midlands Combined Authority joined forces to assemble hampers for us, catering to families of up to 8 members. Each household received festive food such as stuffing, Christmas pudding, Yorkshire pudding mix, and age-appropriate bags of toys! 🎁

We are grateful to the incredible staff at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital for their continued generosity during the holiday season. For the past few years, they have kindly supported us at Christmas, and this year was no exception. They collected toys and thoughtfully organised them into gift bags for children of all ages. Thank you so much!

"At ROH we like to support NCP and the local community as they do such great work. Departments within the ROH collected toys for children, then a team packed the giftbags together, which we passed on to NCP. We look forward to continuing working together in 2025."

The talented children at St. Laurence Church Junior School generously created and donated stunning Christmas cards for our hampers! These thoughtful additions are sure to spread festive cheer throughout the community. Thank you so much—we know these cards will be deeply appreciated! 💚

The Scope Shop in Northfield has shown incredible generosity by making three separate donations to our food bank! These contributions are vital in helping us support individuals and families in need. Thank you for making a difference in our community!

A huge thank you goes out to:

The Masons for donating £1,000 for us to purchase items for our hampers
Sainsbury’s, ALDI and Iceland for allowing us to have fruit boxes
Individuals who made reverse advent calendars and donated toys and food
FORTEM for their big donation!
