CCP's annual Hamper Scamper campaign seeks to relieve some of the financial and emotional burden of Christmas on families and individuals who are already struggling. They strongly believe that nobody should go without this Christmas. Their aim is to encourage communities to come together to provide hope to those in need.  

Many of those who will be receiving a hamper will be families and individuals living on the brink of homelessness and struggling to afford food and heating alongside the expectations of the festive season. Others may be isolated adults and young people, with no friends or family to celebrate this special time of year with. 

Hamper Scamper 2021 is expecting a significant increase in demand following recent benefit cuts, increased fuel prices, supermarket shortages and ongoing unemployment as we recover from the biggest challenge of our lifetime. Over the last 18 months, they have seen requests for emergency food double.

To provide this service, they rely on the generosity of our communities for donations of basic food items through to festive provisions, including quality gifts for children. 

This year, they need a little extra support to help to spread some cheer to those struggling this Christmas.  You can help by donating non-perishable food for them to fill the hampers. They need to raise over 50,000 individual items of food to reach as many people as possible.  

We have a collection point in school.  If you are able to spare some food items from the list attached, it will be greatly appreciated. Please ensure any donations are received by Wednesday 1^st December.

Thank you for your support.
