This Christmas, Margate FC Community Trust’s Over 55s Social Thursdays group is inviting our community to help bring warmth and kindness to older people who may be spending the festive season alone.
We’re collecting small, thoughtful gifts to wrap and share alongside a mince pie or a slice of Christmas cake and a handwritten Christmas card. A simple gesture could mean so much to someone who might otherwise receive no gifts or visitors this Christmas.
How you can help
Donations could include a new mug, a hot water bottle, a box of chocolates or another small gift to bring a little comfort and cheer.
We’re also welcoming donations for babies and young children to support local families through Mama to Mama, For Every child I Wish and Oasis.
Every contribution, however small, can help brighten someone’s Christmas and remind them that they are remembered.
Where and when to donate
Please drop donations off at Margate Football Club by 28 November.
Members of the Community Trust will also be at the home game on 14 November to receive donations.
Nominate someone to receive a gift
If you know an older person in your community who will be spending Christmas alone, you can nominate them to receive a gift by sending a private message to Margate FC Community Trust on Facebook.
Gifts will be subject to availability.
Thank you for your generosity and support. Together, we can make a little kindness go a long way this Christmas.
