The Christmas Collective

Thank you to @KandCfoundation for their supportive professional oversight of the amazing fundraising effort that made this possible... (1/7)

Over 11,000 people in Kensington + Chelsea are struggling this festive season. We want to ensure that everyone has warm hearts and full tummies this winter so please, if you can, consider supporting our appeal and spread Christmas cheer across K+C. thekandcfoundation.enthuse.com/cf/k-c-christm…

15 sleeps till Santa! What was your favourite ever present the big man in the red suit brought you? Ours was Prince's Parade on tape! Help ensure that children like Alfie* experience the magic of Christmas and the joy of seeing wrapped presents waiting just for you.

We were delighted to receive an incredibly generous donation of brand-new toys and books from Norland Place School. A huge thank you to everyone donated and to our book partner @LandRBookshop for helping make this happen! #SpreadingChristmasCheerInKC #WarmHeartsAndFullTummies

I know it's still October - but guess what we've started planning? @KandCfoundation @SMARTLondon @AgeUKKandC @RugbyPortobello @DalgarnoTrust @Open_Age @VentureCentre1 @StCuthbertEC

@ErikaWakid Manic hamper stapling in your spare time 😉

The disproportionate rage when I break a nail 🤬

When you think about how much time you spend worrying about what your own child eats ("please have a bit more broccoli") - imagine being one of these mothers or fathers and only being able to provide this?

Christmas might feel like a long time ago but we have some good news to share. 😃 The Christmas in a Box project provided over 8,000 people a helping hand with 262 volunteers spreading joy by stepping up to help. See what some families had to say: rbkc.gov.uk/newsroom/all-c…

So many great teachers and staff in our #RBKC schools - working under incredible pressure at the moment. Use this link to send a *FREE* thank you card to a teacher or staff member (let's not forget the office & other staff!) in your school @RBKC thankateacher.co.uk/thank-a-teache…

Thank you to everyone. It wasn't perfect - and we made mistakes. But now we have to think about what must be done to make sure people have enough to eat ALL YEAR ROUND - *without* the help of volunteers and charities, amazing as they are. ❤️(7/7)

Not forgetting volunteers behind the scenes that worked this project alongside full-time jobs (Erika and Louise - volunteer co-ordinator champions) and those running our charities who added this to their workload. Apologies to anyone I've left off! (6/7)

The @DalgarnoTrust team unloading bags and bags of wonderful food (lots of people are going to have very sore muscles tomorrow) Thank you @waitrose Belgravia for your amazing support - including stepping up to meet our early morning dash for MORE CHICKEN!

How many of our hampers were delivered by @befearsomeuk people?? We can’t even count. These wonderful people just kept popping up at the door! Thanks guys, from the bottom of our hearts ♥️

The people from @weareso_co were so amazing! Not just gifts for our hampers but their blood, sweat and tears as well! We love you guys - delivering both days for hours on end. And always with a smile 😊 Thank you! @RBKC #community #EcoFriendlyChristmas

We are bowled over by the number of people that have pitched in this week - and the weeks leading up. So much delicious food. Thank you! #furloughedfoodies #community

Fantastic job @AgeUKKandC - I can see a lovely card and a plant pot from one of the many local children who made gifts #rbkc #communityspirit 😘
