Silver Santa
Christmas Hampers
Christmas Hampers
Silver Santa was created by one of our volunteers in response to the loss of her mum.
This is Heather's story: "I lost my 92yr old mum to COVID in June 2020 and still miss buying & wrapping up all her Christmas goodies. Once again this year, many of our elderly will be alone in our communities."
We work together to ensure 1000+ elderly people who may not receive a gift from anyone this Christmas receive one, and know that they are not forgotten.
A Special Gift
We try and personalise our gifts by finding out the recipients favourite things. In the past these have included football, nail polish, motorbikes, music, Guinness, perfume, pj’s, knitting, cuddly toys and of course chocolate & more chocolate!
Getting To Those In Need
We work with Care Homes, Social Workers, Community Groups, GPs, Elderly Care Teams and individuals to ensure that someone who might be on their own in Ards & North Down receives a special gift.
Christmas Elves
A volunteer team prepare the gifts, sort them for transport and then deliver them throughout Ards & North Down to ensure they are delivered in time for Christmas.
Get Involved
Preparations begin early in the year and we need volunteers willing to do a range of things from packing, to Christmas card and label making, to delivery drivers, and much more! If you could help get in contact via our contact us page!

We believe no one should be without food whatever their age or the time of year. So we work tirelessly to ensure everyone has enough food. We recognise that at Christmas it can be extremely hard for individuals and families so we provide a range of help at Christmas for those living in Ards & North Down.
Christmas Food Hampers
Do you or someone you know need some extra help with food over the Christmas period? We can provide individuals and families with some additional food for the Christmas period. If you know someone or you need help yourself use the link below.
Christmas Dinners
We provide those in crisis or those who will be alone and struggling on Christmas Day with a dinner. This dinner is delivered the day before Christmas Eve by a volunteer along with a few other goodies to enjoy on Christmas Day. If you or someone you know needs this use the link below.
We need volunteers this Christmas! Can you help?
We are in need of lots of Christmas elves to help us this year. We need volunteers willing to do a range of things from hamper packing, to Christmas card and label making, to delivery drivers, and much more! If you could help get in contact via our contact us page!
