We’re coming together to do a little extra for our local communities this Christmas – here’s how you can help.
Foodbank donations
We’re collecting items for local foodbanks to ensure everyone has a meal this Christmas. If you’d like to contribute, please bring any non-perishable food items to our office in Tremains Business Park, Bridgend, CF31 1TZ. We’ll make sure your donations are delivered directly to the foodbank in time for the holidays.
Bridgend Santa Appeal
Help bring some Christmas cheer to children and young people across Bridgend by supporting this year’s Santa Appeal, organised by Bridgend County Borough Council’s Social Services and Wellbeing department.
In addition to the Santa Appeal, we’re asking our contractors and partners to contribute to a small fund to provide gift cards for older children who may not want toys. If successful, this will mean everyone has something special to look forward to on Christmas morning.
Please spread the word to any contractors or partners you work with!
How to Donate
Cash Donations (preferred): You can make a donation online through Awen’s Just Giving page or make cash or card donations at Halo leisure centres and swimming pools.
The Just Giving page will close on Friday 13th December 2024.
Gift Donations:
If you’d prefer to donate a new, unwrapped gift in a gift bag, please bring it to our office between Monday 18th November and Friday 29th November 2024.
Volunteers will be sorting gifts by age and wrapping them ready for delivery.
A big thank you in advance for your kindness and Christmas spirit!
