A lovely team of volunteers heping us sort all the gifts and send them out to charities, back in 2018.
Over the past ten years Team London Bridge has collected thousands of gift donations from London Bridge employees. The generosity of our community is increasingly impressive each year and the donations help those who can find the festive season a challenging and lonely time. Read more about the entire Christmas campaign here.
The charities we support each year have a big impact on the local community, working with the homeless, elderly, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and those who struggle with mental health issues. This year, the tradition continues and we'll be collecting presents throughout November to be prepared on 11th December ready for the charities to give out at their special annual Christmas lunches.
Some of the charities supported this year are: Bede House, Beormund Community Centre, CoolTan Arts, Time and Talents, Stones End Day Centre, South London Cares, Riverside Parents and Carers Association and more!
How you can volunteer
To help us make sure all the gift donations look the part before sending them to local charities join us for one of the three hour slots (or for as long as you can). This will also involve helping us get the gifts to all these wonderful community charities by volunteering to drive or jump in a taxi – it won’t be far, and it won't take long, but it is the vital final step.
11th Dec, 09:30 - 12:30 or 14:00 - 17:00
If you want to volunteer for more than one slot, you'll have to register again. Please note that if you want to make a group booking you'll have to encourage each person to register or do so on their behalf, using their contact details (health and safety reasons).
