GIVE A GIFT – Community giving scheme

This year we’re partnering with two local charities to help collect gift and food donations to support our wider community this Christmas. If you can, please consider bringing a gift (unwrapped) and/ or an item of canned/ long-life food.

Our charity partners are…

TDAS (Trafford Domestic Abuse Services) 

TDAS provides vital support to families affected by domestic abuse, offering safe refuge and helping individuals rebuild their lives. Our Christmas Gift Appeal is dedicated to bringing joy to families in our refuges, including children of all ages, as well as the women and men who seek safety and support with us. We welcome unwrapped gifts, allowing our team to match the perfect presents to each family member, ensuring everyone feels the warmth and care this Christmas. Visit the TDAS website for suggested gift ideas.

Manchester Central Foodbank

We don’t think anyone in our community should face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days of nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. For ideas of what food items are needed at the moment please click here. 

You can also purchase a gift from one of the stall holders, and add it to the collection on the day!
Collection point – Females Entrance
