About
Every year, the London Bridge business community have collected thousands of gift donations for local charities.
Now more than ever, we need your help to brighten up someone’s Christmas.
Our campaign benefits a wide range of local charities who work with those experiencing homelessness, the elderly, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and those who struggle with poor mental health. Last year alone we collected 1745 gifts from 26 London Bridge businesses.
Local charities taking part: Time & Talents, Bede House, Stones End Day Centre, The Manna Society, South London Refugees Association, South London Cares, One Southwark, plus a few more on the waiting list, should we receive more gifts from you so please donate what you can!

How to get involved
All London Bridge businesses are invited to get involved, large or small. Let’s help make sure that local people will receive one gift this Christmas.
Simply express interest in joining the campaign by emailing Sofia. In a nutshell:
🎄 Collect gifts by galvanising support from colleagues in your office between 11th Nov and 9th Dec. You will receive a resource pack that includes a poster, gift ideas, photos and draft emails to help you spread the word.
✨ Volunteer your time to help some of the charities run their festivities, or help us wrap and sort the gifts before we send them to charities. Here are some options.
Deadline Monday, 9th December Most charities would need to receive the gifts by that week in order for them to send the gifts to those they work with or at their Christmas gatherings.
Keen to help? There are many ways in which this could work for you, let Sofia know that you’re interested in taking part and we’ll take it from there! Email: sofia@teamlondonbridge.co.uk
It’s a great way to show your stakeholders how your business is giving back locally! And collectively, it helps us amplify our business community’s generosity #giftbackwithteamlondonbridge 🎁🎄🎀
