Feed a local family in need this Christmas day

Looking for a simple, practical way to help a family in need this Christmas?

The Cambridge Fruit Company and their customers continue to support our work through our fourth Christmas Dinner Appeal.

Click here to help a local family in need this Christmas by gifting support from Red Hen, including providing high-quality ingredients for a Christmas dinner for 6 – for just a £100 donation.

Since Red Hen started over 25 years ago, we have recognised the importance of Christmas to every child and their family. It started small, with staff and their family and friends collecting gifts to ensure no child went without.

During the pandemic, The Cambridge Fruit Company galvanised their customers to support families in need with 2000+ boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables, and the Christmas of 2020 saw our first Christmas dinner appeal, which gave individuals and companies the opportunity to provide struggling families with top-notch ingredients for a Christmas dinner to remember!

In this fourth year of the appeal, we are slightly changing the process to reflect the reality of our work, but keep this important premise, hoping to raise funds to deliver a Christmas dinner box to 100 families.

A £100 donation will help get ingredients for a Christmas dinner for six to a family in need and support the broader costs of our front-line work to make this happen. Donating direct to us as a charity means we may also be able to access an extra £25 in Gift Aid, as long as you are eligible.

Red Hen works with families over the long term, usually no less than six months, to tackle the underlying causes of poverty. Our highly skilled and trusted family and project workers not only address immediate challenges but we work hard to connect them to their community and build their resilience and independence helping to prevent issues from escalating to crisis point in the future.

Your support can help us focus on an extensive range of challenges that families can face that affect their children’s ability to thrive – school refusal, special educational needs/additional needs, relationship breakdown, isolation, poor physical and mental health, domestic abuse, housing, debts, etc.
