Every year on Christmas Day, the Council have provided a festive feast for older people who would otherwise be all alone. As far as we know, Hammersmith & Fulham Council is unique in providing an event on Christmas Day itself – with an army of volunteers helping local isolated residents experience some Christmas cheer.
Obviously, the same event can’t be offered in 2020, but the Council is working with the Smile Brigade, and will be delivering a Christmas Meal, gifts and a friendly greeting to 600 local older people.
Applications for this year’s event are now closed, but donations and gifts are still welcome. Please click here

DIY store B&Q operates a community re-use scheme through all its branches across the UK. The scheme donates unsellable products and materials for re-use by local schools, other educational institutions and community groups, for the benefit of the local community and the environment. All items are donated on the understanding that they will be re-used or disposed of responsibly if they are not used. Eligible groups include community garden projects, registered charities, schools and colleges, youth groups, Scouts and Guides, hospices, preschool groups and registered child minders. B&Q also works with Community Repaint, a network of schemes that collects any surplus, re-usable paint and redistributes it within their communities to individuals and families on low income, charities and community groups. Charities, community groups, colleges or schools interested should get in touch with B&Q. B&Q will add the organisation’s details to their database of community groups. When a B&Q store has something to donate, they will use this list to get in touch with groups in their area. Click here
