Christmas Campaign 2024

We are excited to announce the launch of our 2024 Christmas Campaign, which is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We are calling on the generous support of our Plymouth community to help us provide hot Christmas meals, some festive companionship and joyful Christmas parties for over 50s, those living with dementia and their carers in Plymouth.

This year, our campaign is all about making sure that no one in Plymouth spends the festive season alone. Christmas is a time of love, warmth and celebration, but for many, it is a time of loneliness and isolation. By donating to our campaign, you’re directly supporting your community this Christmas, as all money raised, stays in Plymouth to support those who need it most.

Margaret’s story is, sadly, not unique. Many older people in Plymouth face the Christmas period alone, with no one to share a meal or a conversation. That is why we at have launched our biggest fundraising campaign of the year as your donations will help us provide hot Christmas meals, companionship and throw joyful Christmas parties for people like Margaret.

How your support will help this Christmas:

£10 will pay for a festive hot meal delivered directly to someone who might be facing Christmas alone.

£20 will pay for someone to enjoy a Christmas meal and attend a Christmas Party.

This Christmas, we will be delivering hot, festive meals directly to older people across Plymouth who are facing the season by themselves. In addition to the meal deliveries, we will also be hosting a special Christmas party at our Mount Gould Centre, where older people can come together for an afternoon of celebration, delicious food and companionship. Your donations will directly support these efforts, helping us reach as many people as possible and ensuring that no one has to feel alone this Christmas.

At a time when most of us are celebrating with loved ones, many in our community feel more isolated than ever. With winter's rising costs and Plymouth being one of the most deprived areas in the country, this season can be especially challenging for those already struggling on a day to day basis. With your support, we can make a real difference. Together, we can ensure that older people feel the joy of Christmas once again.
