Hiya lovely people smiling smiley x


I?m doing Xmas hampers or gift bags for families who have had it rough. I would like to help out these families by purchasing items for them and Gifting it to them.


This is my first year doing this. I was in the same position as these families and I was in need of essential items and kids items during the pandemic when my husband lost his job. So I got help and I was so so happy and it helped me so I want to return that helping hand and help out those who are going through a rough time right now. And when I can help them out it puts a smile on my face as it did when I received help.


These families where referred to me via the schools both my children attend. I spoke to both headteachers and the staff who help families in need and they refer them on to me. They were happy I was doing this as they said that sadly they weren?t doing it due to covid. They couldn?t accept donations.


I have made an Amazon wish list with some items that were requested by the families. Please do have a look on the link any donation made would be very appreciated. The link is: [www.amazon.co.uk]


Examples of items that can be donated:


Chocolate/sweets

Gift sets for him/her

Toiletries

Make up

Clothing

Toys - board games, etc



Thank you for taking time in reading my post. Anything is very much appreciated x

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
